What century was the word "dirge" first used in? (Merriam Webster BOOK Dictionary only)?

I don't need the definition or anything, just the century "dirge" was first used in. And it NEEDS to be from the book. It is NOT on www.m-w.com.

dirge, first documented in c.1225, from L. dirige "direct!" imperative of dirigere "to direct," probably from antiphon Dirige, Domine, Deus meus, in conspectu tuo viam meam, "Direct, O Lord, my God, my way in thy sight," from Psalm v:9, which opened the Matins service in the Office of the Dead. Transferred sense of "any funeral song" is from 1500.What century was the word "dirge" first used in? (Merriam Webster BOOK Dictionary only)?
