To be short, Annatoo was a Tartar, a regular Calmuc, and Samoa—Heaven help him—her husband.  (Mardi)
"In either case, Heaven help the sailors, their wives, and their little ones; and Heaven help the underwriters." (White-Jacket)
"If you yourself can withstand three cheers at beholding these vivacious fish, then heaven help ye; the spirit of godly gamesomeness is not in ye." (Moby-Dick)

I. F. "Heaven help you of your mood! I give it up."  (June 1852)
"... the women generally are seen to weep. Heaven help them!"  (September 1852)
