    • 1590, Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene, Book Two, Canto XII, Stanza 56, edited by Erik Gray, Hackett, 2006, p. 214,
      In her left hand a Cup of gold she held,
      And with her right the riper fruit did reach,
      Whose sappy liquor, that with fulnesse sweld,
      Into her cup she scruzd, with daintie breach
      Of her fine fingers, without fowle empeach,
      That so faire winepresse made the wine more sweet:
    • 1693, François Rabelais, Gargantua and Pantagruel, Book III, (1546), translated by Thomas Urquhart, Chapter 18,[4]
      The words of the third article are: She will suck me at my best end. Why not? That pleaseth me right well. You know the thing; I need not tell you that it is my intercrural pudding with one end. I swear and promise that, in what I can, I will preserve it sappy, full of juice, and as well victualled for her use as may be.
    • 1717, Ovid, Metamorphoses, translated by John Dryden, London: J. and R. Tonson, 4th edition, 1736, Book I, pp. 21-22,[5]
      The Stones (a Miracle to Mortal View,
      But long Tradition makes it pass for true)
      Did first the Rigour of their Kind expell,
      And suppled into softness as they fell;
      Then swell’d, and swelling, by degrees grew warm;
      And took the Rudiments of human Form.
      Imperfect Shapes: in Marble such are seen,
      When the rude Chizzel does the Man begin;
      While yet the roughness of the Stone remains,
      Without the rising Muscles, and the Veins.
      The sappy parts, and next resembling juice,
      Were turn’d to moisture, for the Body’s use:
      Supplying humours, blood and nourishment;
  4. (obsolete, of wood) Spongy; Having spaces in which large quantities of sap can flow.
