   • 1785, Thomas Cowper, The Task:

     At length a generation more refined
     Improved the simple plan; made three legs four,
     Gave them a twisted form vermicular,
     And o’er the seat, with plenteous wadding stuff’d,
     Induced a splendid cover, green and blue,
     Yellow and red, of tapestry richly wrought
     And woven close, or needlework sublime.
