Even in the first reliable literary reference to cricket - in &lt;u&gt;The Mysteries of Love and Eloquence&lt;/u&gt; (1658) [a poem] by John Milton's nephew, Edward Philips - the game is represented as synonymous with brutality: 'Ay, but Richard, will you not think so hereafter? Will you not when you have me throw a stool at my head, and cry, "Would my eyes had been beaten out with a cricket ball ["batt?" asks Bateman], the day before I saw thee"'."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Bateman, Anthony,"More Mighty than the Bat, the Pen . . . ;' Culture,, Hegemony, and the Literaturisaton of Cricket," &lt;u&gt;Sport in History&lt;/u&gt;, v. 23, 1 (Summer 2003), page 30. Bateman does not give the original source for the Philips quotation. &lt;b&gt; Note:&lt;/b&gt; Can we find the original Philips source? A few citations give the year of publication as 1685.&lt;/p&gt;". Since there have been only a few results, also nearby values are displayed.
