   • 1592/3, Thomas Nashe, The Choise of Valentines‎^[1] (Poetry), published 1899, →OCLC, archived from the original on February 27, 2006‎^[2]:

     Adieu! faint-hearted instrument of lust; / That falselie hath betrayde our equale trust. / Hence-forth no more will I implore thine ayde, / Or thee, or man of cowardize upbrayde. / My little dilldo shall suply their kinde: / A knaue, that moues as light as leaues by winde; / That bendeth not, nor fouldeth anie deale, / But stands as stiff as he were made of steele; / And playes at peacock twixt my leggs right blythe, / And doeth my tickling swage with manie a sighe. / For, by saint Runnion! he'le refresh me well; / And neuer make my tender bellie swell.

   • 1601, Pliny, translated by P. Holland, Hist. World, II xxxiv xiv 514:
