    • 1590, Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene,
      In haste Duessa from her place arose,
      And to him running said, O prowest knight,
      ??That ever Ladie to her love did chose,
      ??Let now abate the terror of your might,
      ??And quench the flame of furious despight,
      ??And bloudie vengeance; lo th' infernall powres,
      ??Covering your foe with cloud of deadly night,
      ??Have borne him hence to Plutoes balefull bowres.
      The conquest yours, I yours, the shield, the glory yours.
    • And, though I can't put off a woful mien,
      Will be all mirth and cheerfulness within:
      As, in despight of a censorious race,
      I most incontinently suck my face.
