1651, John Donne, Letters to Severall Persons of Honour, London: self published, Letter to your selfe (dated 26 July 1612), page 92:[…] but these of which we speake at this present, are capable of no excuse, no amolishment, and therefore I cry you mercy, and myself too, for disliking them, with so much diligence, for they deserve not that.
2005, Martin Myrone, Bodybuilding: Reforming Masculinities in British Art 1750–1810, New Haven & London: Yale University Press, page 72:The vigour, rigour, and in Robinson's terms, ‘Trouble’ of the reformed style of complex narrative imagery represented in the work of Hamilton and Dance at the beginning of the 1760s gave way in the latter's case to a more decorative manner and then to an abandonment of history painting altogether. ¶ This pictorial and personal amollishment is especially evident in the case of the American painter, Benjamin West, who was in Rome in the early 1760s.
