   • c. 1596-97, William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act I scene i^[1]:

     Antonio:

     In sooth, I know not why I am so sad.

     It wearies me; you say it wearies you;

     But how I caught it, found it, or came by it,

     What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born,

     I am to learn;

     And such a wantwit sadness makes of me,

     That I have much ado to know myself.

   • 1902, William James, The Varieties of Religious Experience:

     Probably a crab would be filled with a sense of personal outrage if it could hear us class it without ado or apology as a crustacean, and thus dispose of it. “I am no such thing,” it would say; “I am myself, myself alone.”
