   • 1598, George Chapman, “The Third Sestiad”, in Hero and Leander‎, completion of the poem begun by Christopher Marlowe:

     His beams abroad, though he in clouds be clos’d,
     Still glancing by them till he find oppos’d
     A loose and rorid vapour that is fit
     T’ event his searching beams, and useth it
     To form a tender twenty-colour’d eye,
     Cast in a circle round about the sky […]
