Here is one that I have long loved from 1827.  I hope I am allowed to post this cutting.  If not, I will transcribe it.

Good one, Martin! I hope some folks will take a crack at it (it's beyond my capabilities, LOL).

Not to worry, looks like it could have come from one branch of my family tree as well ::) ;D ;D
