   • 1580, Humphrey Gifford, A Posie of Gilloflowers Each Differing from Other in Colour and Odour, Yet All Sweet

     To toss the buckler and the blade,
     Lewd women to entice:
     Are not these virtues most esteemed
     And had in greatest price:
     To lend each man a friendly look,
     And use the glozer's art,
     In outward show to bear good will,
     And hate him with our heart
