"The devel," quod she, "so fecche hym er he deye,
And panne and al, but he wol hym repente!"
– Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales, The Friar’s Tale. When the Summoner threatens to take her new pan, the widow curses the dishonest Summoner and asks the Devil to take him to hell, unless he repents, which he refuses to do.
