1827, Maria Elizabeth Budden, http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GLYNAAAAYAAJ Nina, An Icelandic Tale, page 11:

In the first paroxysm of his grief, Ingolfr exclaimed, (what sorrowing heart has not echoed his plaint?) that he could never more taste of joy.

His shriek was as feeble as the plaint of a grass-stalk in a storm.

she seemed to repeat, though with perceptible resignation, her plaint of a moment before. ‘Your father, darling, is a very odd person indeed.’

Once the plaint had been made there was nothing that could be done to revoke it.
