- Captaine, you perceiue how neere both of vs are driuen, the dice of late are growen as melancholy as a dog, high men and low men both prosper alike, langrets, fullams, and all the whole fellowshippe of them will not affoord a man his dinner, some other means must be inuented to preuent imminent extremitie.1594, Thomas Nashe, The Unfortunate Traveller:
- If I throw out with him, Hell rot him for a false die. But ’tis not such a cast shall cast away all my fortune. I have a langret in my purse shall cross-bite for me i’ the end and win me all, howsoe’er the Demons cog against me.1922, E[ric] R[ücker] Eddison, chapter 17, in The Worm Ouroboros: A Romance, London: Jonathan Cape […], →OCLC:
