1386-90, John Gower, Confessio Amantis.
Anon he let two cofres make / Of one semblance, and of one make, / So lich, that no lif thilke throwe, / That one may fro that other knowe.

[…] and that, as the chronicle states, a lich-way would be made through then, assembled his servants, and attempted to stop its progress as it was carried over a bridge. A scuffle ensued, and the body was thrown into the water. The lich-way as not made ; but the Bishop of Exeter amply revenged himself for the proceedings.

She saw him again that eventide, but then he was a reddened lich.

It was a lich’s face – desiccated flesh tight over its skull.
