   • 1872, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, “Der Schmied”, in Huttens letzte Tage‎^[1]:

     Den Hammer er zum andern Male hob, / Den Amboß schlug er, daß es Funken stob, / Und schrie: "Triff du den Reichsfeind, zweiter Schlag, / Daß ihn der Fuß nicht fürder tragen mag!"

     He brought once more his hammer high / and struck the anvil such, that sparks did fly, / cried: "You, second strike, must the Reich's enemy now hit / so henceforth his own foot won't carry him a bit!"
