   • 1598, Shakespeare, Henry IV, Part 1:

     By heaven methinks it were an easy leap
     To pluck bright honour from the pale-faced moon;
     Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
     Where fathom-line could never touch the ground,
     And pluck up drowned honour by the locks;
     So he that doth redeem her thence might wear
     Without corrival all her dignities:
     But out upon this half-facd fellowship!
