Diary of Samuel Pepys, January 1966/67 [sp57g10.txt]
Baker’s house in Pudding Lane, where the late
great fire begun
Bill against importing Cattle from Ireland
But my wife vexed, which vexed me
Clap of the pox which he got about twelve years ago
Come to us out of bed in his furred mittens and furred
cap
Court full of great apprehensions of the French
Declared he will never have another public mistress
again
Desk fastened to one of the armes of his chayre
Do outdo the Lords infinitely (debates in the Commons)
Enough existed to build a ship (Pieces of the true
Cross)
Enviously, said, I could not come honestly by them
Erasmus “de scribendis epistolis”
For I will be hanged before I seek to him, unless
I see I need
Gold holds up its price still
Have not any awe over them from the King’s displeasure
(Commons)
He will do no good, he being a man of an unsettled
head
I did get her hand to me under my cloak
I perceive no passion in a woman can be lasting long
Mazer or drinking-bowl turned out of some kind of
wood
Mirrors which makes the room seem both bigger and
lighter
Outdo for neatness and plenty anything done by any
of them
Poll Bill
Saying, that for money he might be got to our side
Sermon without affectation or study
Some ends of my own in what advice I do give her
The pleasure of my not committing these things to
my memory
Very great tax; but yet I do think it is so perplexed
Where a piece of the Cross is
Whip this child till the blood come, if it were my
child!
Whom, in mirth to us, he calls Antichrist
Wonders that she cannot be as good within as she is
fair without
Yet let him remember the days of darkness
Diary of Samuel Pepys, February 1966/67 [sp58g10.txt]
Being taken with a Psalmbook or Testament
Consider that this is all the pleasure I live for
in the world
Dinner, an ill and little mean one, with foul cloth
and dishes
If the word Inquisition be but mentioned
King’s service is undone, and those that trust
him perish
Mean, methinks, and is as if they had married like
dog and bitch
Musique in the morning to call up our new-married
people
Must yet pay to the Poll Bill for this pension (unreceived)
New medall, where, in little, there is Mrs. Steward’s
face
Not thinking them safe men to receive such a gratuity
Only because she sees it is the fashion (She likes
it)
Prince’s being trepanned, which was in doing
just as we passed
Proud that she shall come to trill
Receive the applications of people, and hath presents
Seems she hath had long melancholy upon her
Sermon upon Original Sin, neither understood by himself
Sick of it and of him for it
The world do not grow old at all
Then home, and merry with my wife
Though he knows, if he be not a fool, that I love
him not
To my joy, I met not with any that have sped better
than myself
Used to make coal fires, and wash my foul clothes
