Put that it your pipe and smoke it, which might be reinterpreted for modern life as 'Deal with it' and  for which an earlier synonym had been the 18th century's blunter 'Take you that!' is currently first recorded in R.B. Peake's two-act comedy Americans Abroad (1824). Eric Partridge, in his Dictionary of Catch Phrases, attributes it to the image that links pipe-smoking and meditation, but such peaceful contemplation fails to  suggest the enforced acceptance of the unpalatable that underlies the phrase.  For Francophiles the equivalent is 'mets ca dans ta poche et ton mouchoir par dessus': put that in your pocket with your handkerchief on top. And a  colloquial translation of that might be 'stick it where the sun don't shine'.
