  Iago: For when my outward action doth demonstrate
  The native act and figure of my heart
  In compliment extern, 'tis not long after
  But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
  For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.
1840, Thomas Carlyle, Heroes and Hero Worship, lecture 6:
  Such a man must have reticences in him. If he walk wearing his heart upon his sleeve for daws to peck at, his journey will not extend far!
