    • 1638, Tirso de Molina, Las quinas de Portugal 1.8:
      ¿Qué le deje cuando adoro
      marfil de quien funda fué?
      Cifraré en él mis venturas,
      y ya que la mano no,
      el telliz que la cubrió,
      urna de cinco hermosuras,
      plantel de tanta mosqueta,
      ocaso de tanto sol,
      nube de tanto arrebol,
      aljaba á tanta saeta,
      mi esperanza de él vestida
      será mi mayor tesoro.
