Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503 – 11 October 1542) was probably the first great poet who wrote in what is recognizably early-modern English (as distinct from Middle English). Here is his poem after the execution of Thomas Cromwell, his friend:
The piller pearisht is whearto I Lent

Bite the bullet
Meaning
Accept the inevitable impending hardship and endure the resulting pain with fortitude.
The
most frequently cited origin of the alleged 'biting the bullet'
practice is the American Civil War. This seems rather improbable, as
effective anaesthesia using ether and chloroform was introduced in
1846/47 and ether was issued to U.S. military surgeons as early as 1849
- well before the US Civil War began in 1861. The photograph to the
right shows, albeit not too clearly, a patient undergoing amputation in
a US Civil War field hospital, with a cloth, presumably soaked in
ether/chloroform, held near his mouth. It doesn't look like much fun
but, given the choice, and apparently they were, surely patients would
prefer unconsciousness to bullet chewing. tipster
(tĭp'stər)
n. Informal
One who sells tips or information, as to bettors or speculators.
