   • c. 200 BCE – 190 BCE, Plautus, Captivi 545–554:

     Perfidiae laudēs grātiāsque habēmus meritō magnās,
     quom nostrīs sȳcophantiīs, dolīs astūtiīsque,
     scapulārum cōnfīdentiā, virtūte ulnārum frētī,—
     quī advōrsum stimulōs, lāmminas crūcēsque compedēsque,
     nervōs, catēnās, carcerēs, numellās, pedicās, bōiās,
     indūctōrēsque ācerrumōs gnārōsque nostrī tergī,
     quī saepe ante in nostrās scaplās cicātrīcēs indidērunt,—
     eae nunc legiōnēs, cōpiae exercitūsque eōrum
     vī pugnandō, periūriīs nostrīs fugae potitī.

     To perfidy we give great praise and thanks deservedly, when we have entrusted us to our feints, our malices, our shrewdnesses, our reliance upon our shoulder-blades and the strength of our arms, against our goads, blades, crosses, shackles, sinews, chains, gaols, neck irons, foot irons, fetters, the bitter betrayers which know our backs well, who often already have left scars in our shoulder-blades – these legions now, the troops and heres fighting with their power, have attained flight with our prowess.
