1892, Ambrose Bierce, “The Woful Tale of Mr. Peters”, in Black Beetles in Amber, San Francisco & New York: Western Authors Publishing Co., page 116:
- It happened in the hot snap which we recently incurred, / When 'twas warm enough to carbonize the feathers of a bird, / And men exclaimed: “By Hunky!” who were bad enough to swear, / And pious persons supervised their adjectives with care.
