   • 1616, Homer, translated by George Chapman, The Odysseys of Homer‎^[1], Book 9:

     And thus each man hung, till the morning shin’d;‭
     Which come, he knew the hour, and let abroad
     ‭ His male-flocks first, the females unmilk’d stood
     ‭ Bleating and braying, their full bags so sore
     ‭ With being unemptied, but their shepherd more
     ‭ With being unsighted; which was cause his mind
     ‭ Went not a milking.

   • 1818, Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Canto 4, Stanzas 69-70,^[2]

     […] the sweat

     Of their great agony […]

     […] mounts in spray the skies, and thence again

     Returns in an unceasing shower, which round,

     With its unemptied cloud of gentle rain,

     Is an eternal April to the ground,

     Making it all one emerald.

   • 1941, chapter 9, in Emily Carr: Klee Wyck‎^[3]:

     Because the tide had been right to go, bedding had been stripped from the springs, food left about, water left unemptied to rust the kettles.
