    • 1785, Robert Burns, Address to the Deil:
      O Thou! whatever title suit thee-
      Auld Hornie, Satan, Nick, or Clootie,
      Wha in yon cavern grim an' sootie,
      Clos'd under hatches,
      Spairges about the brunstane cootie,
      To scaud poor wretches!

    • (Can we date this quote?), John Lapraik, The Devil's Answer to the Poet's Address:
      Thou ca's me Hornie, Nick an' Clootie,
      An' tells my cave is grim an' sootie;
      But stop, thou'lt, may-be, be my booty;
      I'll try my skill;
      I'll gang as far as Fate will let me,
      An' wi' guid will.
