William Shakespeare, As You Like It, c1600) - Upon the brook that brawls along this wood; "To the which place a poor sequester’d stag, "That from the hunters’ aim had ta’en a hurt, "Did come to languish; and, indeed, my lord, "The wretched animal heav’d forth such groans "That their discharge did stretch his leathern coat "Almost to bursting, and the big round tears "Cours’d one another down his innocent nose "…the melancholy Jaques, "Stood on the extremest verge of the swift brook, "Augmenting it with tears. "…'Poor deer,' quoth he, 'thou mak'st a testament' "…Yea, and of this our life; swearing that we "Are mere us urpers, tyrants, and what’s worse, "To fright the animals and to kill them up "In their assign’d and native dwelling-place.[1]
