    • 1376, Tomáš Štítný ze Štítného, Štítenský sborník klementinský[1]:
      Na vrbách prostřed Babylona ostali jsme, své hudby přístroje tu jako pověsivše, své húsli. To k rozumu svatý Augustin přivodě praví: Vrba jest dřevo neužitečné, nemá ovoce a jest křehké, a toho dřievie mnoho roste v Babyloně. I móžem vrbú neplodnú ovoce světského člověka rozuměti, ješto nenie ploden v šlechetnostech.
