1797, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “Ode on the Departing Year,” Epode II, in Poems, Bristol: J. Cottle & Messrs. Robinsons, 2nd edition, p. 15,
[…] yet, as she lies
By livid fount, or roar of blazing stream,
If ever to her lidless dragon eyes,
O Albion! thy predestin’d ruins rise,
The Fiend-hag on her perilous couch doth leap,
Mutt’ring distemper’d triumph in her charmed sleep.
