   • 1700, Abraham Cowley, The Works of Mr. Abraham Cowley, page #29:

     Was’t not enough, when thou, prophane Diſeaſe,

     Did’ſt on this Glorious Temple ſeize ?

     Was’t not enough, like a wild Zealot, there

     All the rich outward Ornaments to tear,

     Deface the innocent pride of beauteous Images ?

     Was’t not enough thus rudely to defile,

     But thou muſt quite deſtroy the goodly Pile ?
