Had I but seen thy picture in this plight, It would have Madded me; what shall I do Now I behold thy lively body so?
"Titus-Andronicus"
Shakespeare, William
Coming home to-night, I did go to examine my wife's house accounts, and finding things that seemed somewhat doubtful, I was angry though she did make it pretty plain, but confessed that when she do misse a sum, she do add something to other things to make it, and, upon my being very angry, she do protest she will here lay up something for herself to buy her a necklace with, which Madded me and do still trouble me, for I fear she will forget by degrees the way of living cheap and under a sense of want.
