ETEXT editor’s bookmarks, PEPY’S diary,1965 N.S.,Complete:
A fair salute on horseback,
in Rochester streets, of the lady
A most conceited fellow
and not over much in him
A conceited man, but
of no Logique in his head at all
A vineyard, the first
that ever I did see
A pretty man, I would
be content to break a commandment with him
About two o’clock,
too late and too soon to go home to bed
Accounts I never did
see, or hope again to see in my days
All the towne almost
going out of towne (Plague panic)
Among many lazy people
that the diligent man becomes necessary
And feeling for a chamber-pott,
there was none
And all to dinner and
sat down to the King saving myself
At a loss whether it
will be better for me to have him die
Bagwell’s wife
waited at the door, and went with me to my office
Baseness and looseness
of the Court
Because I would not
be over sure of any thing
Being able to do little
business (but the less the better)
Being the first Wednesday
of the month
Best poem that ever
was wrote (Siege of Rhodes)
Bottle of strong water;
whereof now and then a sip did me good
Buy some roll-tobacco
to smell to and chaw
By his many words and
no understanding, confound himself
Castlemayne is sicke
again, people think, slipping her filly
Church, where a most
insipid young coxcomb preached
Clean myself with warm
water; my wife will have me
Consult my pillow upon
that and every great thing of my life
Contracted for her as
if he had been buying a horse
Convenience of periwiggs
is so great
Copper to the value
of L5,000
Costs me 12d. a kiss
after the first
Delight to see these
poor fools decoyed into our condition
Desired me that I would
baste his coate
Did bear with it, and
very pleasant all the while
Did put evil thoughts
in me, but proceeded no further
Discourse of Mr. Evelyn
touching all manner of learning
Disease making us more
cruel to one another than if we are doggs
Doubtfull whether her
daughter will like of it or no
Dying this last week
of the plague 112, from 43 the week before
Endeavouring to strike
tallys for money for Tangier
Every body is at a great
losse and nobody can tell
Every body’s looks,
and discourse in the street is of death
Fell to sleep as if
angry
Find that now and then
a little difference do no hurte
First thing of that
nature I did ever give her (L10 ring)
For my quiet would not
enquire into it
For, for her part, she
should not be buried in the commons
France, which is accounted
the best place for bread
French have taken two
and sunk one of our merchant-men
Give the other notice
