- 1802, Robert Southey, The Inchcape Rock^[1]:
  So thick a haze o’erspreads the sky,
  
  They cannot see the sun on high:
  
  The wind hath blown a gale all day;
  
  At evening it hath died away.
- (Can we date this quote by Elizabeth Fleming and provide title, author’s full name, and other details?), The Ploughman:
  His back would be so glossy, / His sides so smooth and brown, / I'd have to hold his collar / To keep from slipping down! / And jogging on the roadway, / The people passing by / Would turn to smile at Bonny / With me set up on high.
(literary) In Heaven.
