   • 1603, William Shakespeare, Hamlet, act 3, sc. 1:

     For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,

     The oppressors wrong, the proud mans contumely,

     The pangs of despised love, the laws delay,

     The insolence of office and the spurns

     That patient merit of the unworthy takes,

     When he himself might his quietus make

     With a bare bodkin?

5. A type of arrowhead.
