Certainly Shakespeare uses this form by late 16thn century


I have always associated this construction with the middle to late
seventeenth century and cant remember ever coming across it in Shakespeare
(although I have never looked systematically).

Thank you all for the host of replies!  It's interesting that where it is in
use, it's often not an acceptable written or formal construction.  Though I
don't necessarily have a lot to add, I hope the discussion continues, it's
quite interesting!
