Uses:
for love, Philautus, with the which I have been so tormented, that I have lost my time, thou so troubled that thou hast forgot reason, both so mangled with repulse, inveigled by deceit, and almost murthered by disdain, that I can neither remember our miseries without grief, nor redress our mishaps without groans.

John Lyly. Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit (1578)
---
What wilt thou do? Thou wilt not murther me?

William Shakespeare. Hamlet
