   • 1848, Fitch W[aterman] Taylor, “The Bull-frogs’ Serenade”, in A Voyage Round the World, and Visits to Various Foreign Countries, in the United States Frigate Columbia; […], 9th edition, volume I, New Haven, Conn.: […] H. Mansfield; New York, N.Y.: D. Appleton & Co., […], pages 191–192:
     The night was warm, the pool was still, / No sound was heard from lake or hill, / Save where, upon a log decayed, / A bull-frog croaked his serenade: / Wake, frogess of my love, awake, / And listen to my song; / The heron roosts far from the lake, / The pickerel his rest doth take / The water-weeds among. // The sun has put his fire out, / The daylight’s hardly seen, / No enemy is round about; / Then frogess poke thy lovely snout / Above the waters green.
   • 1860 October, “The Theology of Common Things”, in Tait’s Edinburgh Magazine, volume XXVII, Edinburgh: Sutherland & Knox; London: Partridge & Co., page 526, column 1:
     These superstitions and traditions were all odd and strange beliefs, which mingled the materialistic and the spiritual most incongruously; but they were not so degrading, and they were not so far from truth as the “enlightened” ideas respecting our origin, circulated in costly volumes during recent years, by authors whose Adam and Eve were frogs, formed from slime by the action of the sun, with a dash of electricity, and in which, from gratitude for their descent, their progeny for centuries, millenniums, or millionenniums wallowed. At last a frog or frogess—or both may have been required—became a little better than other animals of the same origin, and they pushed out of the slime, and became rats, or squirrels, or something else, while others degenerated at the same time into eels, and progressed upwards to serpents after their first decadence.
