   • 1740, Carl Gyllenborg, Svenska Sprätthöken, pages III–IV:

     De omdömen som sedermera blifwit fälte om henne, hafwa warit skilljachtige, lät du, Benägna Läsare, dina wara så rättwisa och billiga at intet gift må twingas och präßas utur ett hastigt arbete, hwars upsåt endast warit at roa dig, och at, utan wäldughet, med rätta färgor afmåla twenne deße tiders galenskaper som löpa snörrätt emot hwarandra.

     The opinions that have subsequently been expressed about her have been varied, I implore you, kind reader, to judge these matters with fairness and impartiality so that no harm may be forced and pressed out of a hasty work whose intention was only to entertain you, and, without tyranny, depict with accurate colors the follies of these times that clash headlong against each other.
