    • 1742, Edward Young, The Complaint: or Night-Thoughts on Life, Death & Immortality, Night I
      […] on this perhaps,
      This peradventure, infamous for lies,
      As on a rock of adamant, we build
      Our mountain hopes; spin out eternal schemes,
      As we the fatal sisters could out-spin,
      And, big with life’s futurities, expire.
