    • 1873, Josef Jakub Jungmann, Josefa Jungmanna Sebrané drobné spisy: Veršem i prosou, volume II, Praha: I. L. Kober, page 187:
      […] jáť vím, že mnozí včera tak chudí byli, že ani na provaz neměli, dnes náhle tak bohatí jsou, nákladně a skvostně sobě vedou, šesti koňmi jezdí, ježto nedávno v domě ani oslete neměli, zlaté prsteny nosí a v šarlatu sobě vykračují, aniž pak se přesvědčiti mohou, žeby to jejich bohatství sen byl […]
      I know that many who were so poor yesterday that they could not afford to buy a rope are suddenly so rich, so well off, and ride in coaches driven with six horses, although they did not even have a donkey foal in their house; they wear golden rings and walk in scarlet clothes, not being able to see that their wealth is a dream
