But as Grammarphobia reports， domestic fowl had been associated with an absence of bravery long before the 17th century. One play from around 1450 described a coward as a “henne-harte，” and poet John Skelton likened some spineless courtiers to “hen-hearted cuckolds” in his poem Why Come Ye Nat to Courte circa 1529.17世纪人们刚开始用母鸡来指代顺从懦弱的人时，通常都会与公鸡一词并列。
