“And when in their revenge, the most insatiate Dane Unshipt them on our shores, under their puissant Swane: And swolne with hate and ire, their huge unweeldy force, Came clustring like the Greeks out of the Woodden-horse: And the Norfolcian Townes, the neer’st unto the East, With sacriledge and rape did terriblest infest: Those Danes yet from the shores we with such violence drave, That from our swords, their ships could them but hardly save.”

“1756, Samuel Johnson, “The Life of Sir Thomas Browne” in Thomas Browne, Christian Morals, 2nd edition, London: J. Payne, p. xxix, […] he treats with his usual learning on the funeral rites of the antient nations; exhibits their various treatment of the dead; and examines the substances found in his Norfolcian urns.”

“1837, Charles Lamb, Letter to Mr. Manning dated 25 December, 1815, in The Letters of Charles Lamb, London: Edward Moxon, Volume 2, p. 18, You have no turkeys; you would not desecrate the festival by offering up a withered Chinese bantam, instead of the savoury grand Norfolcian holocaust, that smokes all around my nostrils at the moment, from a thousand fire-sides.”
