Herman Melville,
Mardi — Volume I/Chapter CI: The Iris
(1849)
“ Said Yoomy, "Sad your path, but merry Hautia's.""Then merry may she be, whoe'er she is; and though woe be mine, I turn not from that to Hautia; nor ever will I woo her, though she woo me till I die;—though Yillah never bless my eyes." ”
