of swiving and trulls

i feel that it is important to make known the first-ever appearance of the English word dildo in extant print. below is an excerpt from Thomas Nashe's pornographic poem The Choosing of Valentines (c. 1593)


Adieu, unconstant love, to thy disport;
Adieu, false mirth, and melody too short;
Adieu, faint-hearted instrument of lust,
That falsely hath betrayed our equal trust;
Henceforth no more will I implore thine aid,
Or thee, or men, of cowardice upbraid;
My little dildo shall supply their kind,
A knave that moves as light as leaves by wind,
That bendeth not, nor foldest any deal,
But stands as stiff as he were made of steel,
And plays at peacock `twixt my legs right blithe,
And doth my tickling swage with many a sigh,
For by Saint Runnion, he'll refresh me well,
And never make my tender belly swell.
