- 1847, Thomas Babington Macaulay, The Miscellaneous Writings and Speeches of Lord Macaulay, Vol. 3. (of 4)[1]:
- Oh evil was the root, and bitter was the fruit, And crimson was the juice of the vintage that we trod; For we trampled on the throng of the haughty and the strong, Who sate in the high places, and slew the saints of God. It was about the noon of a glorious day of June, That we saw their banners dance, and their cuirasses shine, And the Man of Blood was there, with his long essenced hair, And Astley, and Sir Marmaduke, and Rupert of the Rhine.
- 1735, Alexander Pope, “The Fourth Satire of Dr. John Donne”, in The Works of Mr. Alexander Pope, volume II, London: […] J. Wright, for Lawton Gilliver […], →OCLC, pages 79 and 81, lines 226–229:
- Painted for ſight, and eſſenc'd for the ſmell, / Like frigates fraught with ſpice and cochine'l, / Sail in the Ladies: how each Pyrate eyes / So weak a veſſel, and ſo rich a prize!
- 1920, Edmund William Gosse, Some Diversions of a Man of Letters[2]:
- He liked the public to think of him, exquisitely habited, his long essenced hair falling about his eyes, flinging forth a torrent of musky and mellifluous improvisation; as a matter of fact he was a very hard worker, laborious in the arts of composition.
