- circa 1591-1594, William Shakespeare, Richard III, Act I, Scene I, Lines 9-13
Grim-visag'd war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front;

And now, instead of mounting barded steeds

To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,

He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber

To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
Wearing rich caparisons.
