In The Taming of the Shrew, Act III Scene 2, Mr. Minola complains about Petruchio's clothing, and calls him an eye-sore. Shakespeare also used the word in his poem The Rape of Lucrece, as follows:
"Yea, though I die, the scandal will survive,
And be an eye-sore in my golden coat;
Some loathsome dash the herald will contrive,
To cipher me how fondly I did dote;
That my posterity, shamed with the note
Shall curse my bones, and hold it for no sin
To wish that I their father had not bin."
