From the 17th century we have a:

Song

My lady and her Maid were in a merry pinn
They made a match at Farting w^ch sho^d the wager win
Joan she Light three Candles & set them both upright
W^th y^e first Fart she blowed y^m out
         w^th y^e next she gave y^m Light
But in comes my Lady with all her might & main
And blows them out & in & out & in & out again

[Evidently no fatalities]
