1730–1774, Oliver Goldsmith, Introductory to Switzerland
Though poor the peasant’s hut, his feasts though small,
He sees his little lot the lot of all;
Sees no contiguous palace rear its head
To shame the meanness of his humble shed;

[…] the usual quietness of the day, with us, was broken in upon by the shout of success from the pursuing boats, followed by vehement respondings from the contiguous ship.

Supposing three such houses to be contiguous to a central one, each separated from the latter by a straight wall.
