Try Chaucer.

The Canterbury Tales (The Shipmans' Tale, line 414 ff):

414 For I wol paye yow wel and redily
415 Fro day to day, and if so be I faille,
416 I am youre wyf; score it upon my taille,
417 And I shal paye as soone as ever I may.

(Modern translation):

414 For I will pay you well and readily
415 From day to day; and if it be I fail
416 I am your wife, tally it on my tail,
417 And I will pay as soon as ever I may.

Cheers!
