    The water fell into a close walled plot; upon this wall was the frantick person set, and from thence tumbled headlong into the pond; where a strong fellow tossed him up and down, until the patient, by foregoing his strength, had somewhat forgot his fury: but if there appeared small amendment, he was bowssened again and again, while there remained in him any hope of life, for recovery. Richard Carew, Survey of Cornwal.
