- 1694, Titus Maccius Plautus, Platutus’s Comedies, Amphistryon, Epidicus, and Rudens[1], page 100:
- As I’m a living Soul, if I once lay hands on him, ’tſhall ne’r be ſaid that a pitiful Slave abus’d his Maſter without Puniſhment.
- 1773, John Byrom, Miscellaneous Poems[2], page 146:
- Do ? ſays he, gravely—what I did before ;
What I have done theſe thirty Years, and more ̊;
Carry, as I am like to do, my Pack,
Glad to maintain my Belly by my Back ;
If that but hold, I care not ; for my Part,
Come as come will, ’tſhall never break my Heart ;
I don’t ſee Folks that fight about their Thrones,
Whoe’er gets better, when the Battle’s fought,
Thy Pay nor mine will be advanc’d a Groat—
— But to the Purpoſe—now we are met here,
I’ll join, it t’will, for one full Mug of Beer.
- 1908, William Stanley Braithwaite, The Book of Elizabethan Verse[3], page 386:
- ’Tshall be a dewdrop, and therein
Of Cupids I will have a twin
Which struggling, with their wings shall break
The bubble, out of which shall leak
So sweet a liquor, as shall move
Each thing that smells, to be in love.
