So the children and I rose and dined by ourselves
Sorry in some respect, glad in my expectations in another respect
The Alchymist,—­Comedy by Ben Jonson
The Lords taxed themselves for the poor—­an earl, 1s. 
This week made a vow to myself to drink no wine this week
Those absent from prayers were to pay a forfeit
To be so much in love of plays
Woman with a rod in her hand keeping time to the musique

And so by coach, though hard to get it, being rainy, home
But she loves not that I should speak of Mrs. Pierce
God! what an age is this, and what a world is this
In men’s clothes, and had the best legs that ever I saw
Inconvenience that do attend the increase of a man’s fortune
Man cannot live without playing the knave and dissimulation
My head was not well with the wine that I drank to-day
She is a very good companion as long as she is well
So much wine, that I was even almost foxed
Still in discontent with my wife, to bed, and rose so this morn
This day churched, her month of childbed being out
Vices of the Court, and how the pox is so common there
We do naturally all love the Spanish, and hate the French

Diary of Samuel Pepys, Nov/Dec 1661 [sp15g10.txt]

After dinner my wife comes up to me and all friends again
Ambassador—­that he is an honest man sent to lie abroad
As all things else did not come up to my expectations
Coming to lay out a great deal of money in clothes for my wife
Did extremely beat him, and though it did trouble me to do it
Dominion of the Sea
Exclaiming against men’s wearing their hats on in the church
From some fault in the meat to complain of my maid’s sluttery
Gamester’s life, which I see is very miserable, and poor
Get his lady to trust herself with him into the tavern
Good wine, and anchovies, and pickled oysters (for breakfast)
Like a passionate fool, I did call her whore
My wife and I fell out
Oliver Cromwell as his ensign
Seemed much glad of that it was no more
Sir W. Pen was so fuddled that we could not try him to play
Strange the folly of men to lay and lose so much money
The unlawfull use of lawfull things
Took occasion to fall out with my wife very highly
Took physique, and it did work very well
Tory—­The term was not used politically until about 1679
We had a good surloyne of rost beefe
