“The sea had soaked his heart through”
Homer's Odysses (1614), Book V, line 608; shipwrecked Odysseus washes up on Scheria.
Context: Then forth he came, his both knees falt'ring, both
His strong hands hanging down, and all with froth
His cheeks and nostrils flowing, voice and breath
Spent to all use, and down he sunk to death.
The sea had soaked his heart through; all his veins
His toils had rack'd t'a labouring woman's pains.
Dead weary was he.
“Danger (the spur of all great minds) is ever
The curb to your tame spirits.”
The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois (1613), Act V, scene i.
Book I, line 1, p. 1
The Iliads of Homer, Prince of Poets (1611)
Context: Achilles' baneful wrath resound, O Goddess, that imposed
Infinite sorrows on the Greeks, and many brave souls loosed
From breasts heroic, sent them far to that invisible cave
That no light comforts, and their limbs to dogs and vultures gave;
To all which Jove's will gave effect; from whom first strife begun
Betwixt Atrides, king of men, and Thetis' godlike son.
Book VIII, line 487, p. 115 https://books.google.com/books?id=ashjAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA115&dq=%22As+when+about%22
