The Project Gutenberg Etext of Widger's Quotations from Diary of Pepys

*********This file should be named 4202.txt or 4202.zip*********

This etext was produced by David Widger <widger@cecomet.net>

Project Gutenberg Etexts are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not keep etexts in compliance with any particular paper edition.

We are now trying to release all our etexts one year in advance of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing. Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections, even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement. The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who wish to do so.

Most people start at our sites at: https://gutenberg.org or http://promo.net/pg

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new etexts, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).

Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03 or

ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03

Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90

Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want, as it appears in our Newsletters.

Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 million dollars per hour in 2001 as we release over 50 new Etext files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 4000+ If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total should reach over 300 billion Etexts given away by year's end.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext Files by December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion] This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 4,000 Etexts. We need funding, as well as continued efforts by volunteers, to maintain or increase our production and reach our goals.

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium.

We need your donations more than ever!

As of November, 2001, contributions are being solicited from people

and organizations in: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware,

*In Progress

We have filed in about 45 states now, but these are the only ones that have responded.

As the requirements for other states are met, additions to this list will be made and fund raising will begin in the additional states. Please feel free to ask to check the status of your state.

In answer to various questions we have received on this:

We are constantly working on finishing the paperwork to legally request donations in all 50 states. If your state is not listed and you would like to know if we have added it since the list you have, just ask.

While we cannot solicit donations from people in states where we are not yet registered, we know of no prohibition against accepting donations from donors in these states who approach us with an offer to donate.

International donations are accepted, but we don't know ANYTHING about how to make them tax-deductible, or even if they CAN be made deductible, and don't have the staff to handle it even if there are ways.

All donations should be made to:

**The Legal Small Print**

(Three Pages)

***START**THE SMALL PRINT!**FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN ETEXTS**START*** Why is this "Small Print!" statement here? You know: lawyers. They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our fault. So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement disclaims most of our liability to you. It also tells you how you may distribute copies of this etext if you want to.

*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept this "Small Print!" statement. If you do not, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for this etext by sending a request within 30 days of receiving it to the person you got it from. If you received this etext on a physical medium (such as a disk), you must return it with your request.

ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etexts, is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project"). Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.

Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market any commercial products without permission.

To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain works. Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below, [1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may receive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that time to the person you received it from. If you received it on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement copy. If you received it electronically, such person may choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to receive it electronically.

THIS ETEXT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS". NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you may have other legal rights.

INDEMNITY You will indemnify and hold Michael Hart, the Foundation, and its trustees and agents, and any volunteers associated with the production and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm texts harmless, from all liability, cost and expense, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following that you do or cause: [1] distribution of this etext, [2] alteration, modification, or addition to the etext, or [3] any Defect.

DISTRIBUTION UNDER "PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm" You may distribute copies of this etext electronically, or by disk, book or any other medium if you either delete this "Small Print!" and all other references to Project Gutenberg, or:

[1] Only give exact copies of it. Among other things, this requires that you do not remove, alter or modify the etext or this "small print!" statement. You may however, if you wish, distribute this etext in machine readable binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form, including any form resulting from conversion by word processing or hypertext software, but only so long as *EITHER*:

[*] The etext, when displayed, is clearly readable, and does *not* contain characters other than those intended by the author of the work, although tilde (~), asterisk (*) and underline (_) characters may be used to convey punctuation intended by the author, and additional characters may be used to indicate hypertext links; OR

[*] The etext may be readily converted by the reader at no expense into plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equivalent form by the program that displays the etext (as is the case, for instance, with most word processors); OR

[*] You provide, or agree to also provide on request at no additional cost, fee or expense, a copy of the etext in its original plain ASCII form (or in EBCDIC or other equivalent proprietary form).

[2] Honor the etext refund and replacement provisions of this "Small Print!" statement.

[3] Pay a trademark license fee to the Foundation of 20% of the gross profits you derive calculated using the method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. If you don't derive profits, no royalty is due. Royalties are payable to "Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation" the 60 days following each date you prepare (or were legally required to prepare) your annual (or equivalent periodic) tax return. Please contact us beforehand to let us know your plans and to work out the details.

WHAT IF YOU *WANT* TO SEND MONEY EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO? Project Gutenberg is dedicated to increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form.

THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EDITION OF THE UNABRIDGED DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, PREFACE AND LIFE [sp02g10.txt]

Confusion of years in the case of the months of January (etc.)

Else he is a blockhead, and not fitt for that imployment

Fixed that the year should commence in January instead of March

He knew nothing about the navy

He made the great speech of his life, and spoke for three hours

I never designed to be a witness against any man

In perpetual trouble and vexation that need it least

Inoffensive vanity of a man who loved to see himself in the glass

Learned the multiplication table for the first time in 1661

Montaigne is conscious that we are looking over his shoulder

Nothing in it approaching that single page in St. Simon

The present Irish pronunciation of English

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JAN 1659/60 [sp03g10.txt]

A very fine dinner

Gave him his morning draft

Much troubled with thoughts how to get money

My wife was making of her tarts and larding of her pullets

My wife was very unwilling to let me go forth

Put to a great loss how I should get money to make up my cash

This day I began to put on buckles to my shoes

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, FEB 1659/60 [sp04g10.txt]

Dined with my wife on pease porridge and nothing else

Do press for new oaths to be put upon men

Hanging jack to roast birds on

Kiss my Parliament, instead of "Kiss my [rump]"

Mottoes inscribed on rings was of Roman origin

My wife and I had some high words

Petition against hackney coaches

Playing the fool with the lass of the house

Posies for Rings, Handkerchers and Gloves

Some merry talk with a plain bold maid of the house

To the Swan and drank our morning draft

Wedding for which the posy ring was required

Went to bed with my head not well by my too much drinking to-day

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MAR/APR 1659/60 [sp05g10.txt]

Cavaliers have now the upper hand clear of the Presbyterians

Resolve to have the doing of it himself, or else to hinder it

Strange thing how I am already courted by the people

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MAY 1660 [sp06g10.txt]

An exceeding pretty lass, and right for the sport

And in all this not so much as one

Bought for the love of the binding three books

Drinking of the King's health upon their knees in the streets

Fashionable and black spots

He and I lay in one press bed, there being two more

He is, I perceive, wholly sceptical, as well as I

He that must do the business, or at least that can hinder it

He was fain to lie in the priest's hole a good while

If it should come in print my name maybe at it

In comes Mr. North very sea-sick from shore

John Pickering on board, like an ass, with his feathers

Made to drink, that they might know him not to be a Roundhead

My Lord, who took physic to-day and was in his chamber

Presbyterians against the House of Lords

Protestants as to the Church of Rome are wholly fanatiques

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JUN/JUL 1660 [sp07g10.txt]

A good handsome wench I kissed, the first that I have seen

Among all the beauties there, my wife was thought the greatest

An offer of L500 for a Baronet's dignity

Court attendance infinite tedious

Did not like that Clergy should meddle with matters of state

Dined upon six of my pigeons, which my wife has resolved to kill

Five pieces of gold for to do him a small piece of service

God help him, he wants bread.

Had no more manners than to invite me and to let me pay

How the Presbyterians would be angry if they durst

I pray God to make me able to pay for it.

I went to the cook's and got a good joint of meat

King's Proclamation against drinking, swearing, and debauchery

L100 worth of plate for my Lord to give Secretary Nicholas

Most of my time in looking upon Mrs. Butler

My new silk suit, the first that ever I wore in my life

Offer me L500 if I would desist from the Clerk of the Acts place

Sceptic in all things of religion

She had six children by the King

Strange how civil and tractable he was to me

The ceremonies did not please me, they do so overdo them

This afternoon I showed my Lord my accounts, which he passed

To see the bride put to bed

We cannot tell what to do for want of her (the maid)

Where I find the worst very good

Which I did give him some hope of, though I never intend it

Woman that they have a fancy to, to make her husband a cuckold

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, AUG/SEP 1660 [sp08g10.txt]

Boy up to-night for his sister to teach him to put me to bed

Diana did not come according to our agreement

Drink at a bottle beer house in the Strand

Finding my wife's clothes lie carelessly laid up

Formerly say that the King was a bastard and his mother a whore

Hand i' the cap

Hired her to procure this poor soul for him

I fear is not so good as she should be

I was angry with her, which I was troubled for

I was exceeding free in dallying with her, and she not unfree

Ill all this day by reason of the last night's debauch

King do tire all his people that are about him with early rising

Kissed them myself very often with a great deal of mirth

My luck to meet with a sort of drolling workmen on all occasions

Show many the strangest emotions to shift off his drink

Upon the leads gazing upon Diana

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, OCT/NOV/DEC 1660 [sp09g10.txt]

Asleep, while the wench sat mending my breeches by my bedside

Barkley swearing that he and others had lain with her often

But I think I am not bound to discover myself

But we were friends again as we are always

Cure of the King's evil, which he do deny altogether

Duke of York and Mrs. Palmer did talk to one another very wanton

First time I had given her leave to wear a black patch

First time that ever I heard the organs in a cathedral

Gentlewomen did hold up their heads to be kissed by the King

Have her come not as a sister in any respect, but as a servant

Have not known her this fortnight almost, which is a pain to me

He did very well, but a deadly drinker he is

I took a broom and basted her till she cried extremely

I was a great Roundhead when I was a boy

I was demanded L100, for the fee of the office at 6d. a pound

In discourse he seems to be wise and say little

It not being handsome for our servants to sit so equal with us

Learnt a pretty trick to try whether a woman be a maid or no

Long cloaks being now quite out

Sit up till 2 o'clock that she may call the wench up to wash

Smoke jack consists of a wind-wheel fixed in the chimney

So I took occasion to go up and to bed in a pet

So we went to bed and lay all night in a quarrel

The rest did give more, and did believe that I did so too

There being ten hanged, drawn, and quartered

Thus it was my chance to see the King beheaded at White Hall

To see Major-general Harrison hanged, drawn; and quartered

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, 1660 N.S. COMPLETE [sp10g10.txt]

A very fine dinner

A good handsome wench I kissed, the first that I have seen

Among all the beauties there, my wife was thought the greatest

An exceeding pretty lass, and right for the sport

An offer of L500 for a Baronet's dignity

And in all this not so much as one

Asleep, while the wench sat mending my breeches by my bedside

Barkley swearing that he and others had lain with her often

Bought for the love of the binding three books

Boy up to-night for his sister to teach him to put me to bed

But we were friends again as we are always

But I think I am not bound to discover myself

Cavaliers have now the upper hand clear of the Presbyterians

Confusion of years in the case of the months of January (etc.)

Court attendance infinite tedious

Cure of the King's evil, which he do deny altogether

Diana did not come according to our agreement

Did not like that Clergy should meddle with matters of state

Dined with my wife on pease porridge and nothing else

Dined upon six of my pigeons, which my wife has resolved to kill

Do press for new oaths to be put upon men

Drink at a bottle beer house in the Strand

Drinking of the King's health upon their knees in the streets

Duke of York and Mrs. Palmer did talk to one another very wanton

Else he is a blockhead, and not fitt for that imployment

Fashionable and black spots

Finding my wife's clothes lie carelessly laid up

First time I had given her leave to wear a black patch

First time that ever I heard the organs in a cathedral

Five pieces of gold for to do him a small piece of service

Fixed that the year should commence in January instead of March

Formerly say that the King was a bastard and his mother a whore

Gave him his morning draft

Gentlewomen did hold up their heads to be kissed by the King

God help him, he wants bread.

Had no more manners than to invite me and to let me pay

Hand i' the cap

Hanging jack to roast birds on

Have her come not as a sister in any respect, but as a servant

Have not known her this fortnight almost, which is a pain to me

He and I lay in one press bed, there being two more

He is, I perceive, wholly sceptical, as well as I

He that must do the business, or at least that can hinder it

He was fain to lie in the priest's hole a good while

He did very well, but a deadly drinker he is

He made the great speech of his life, and spoke for three hours

He knew nothing about the navy

Hired her to procure this poor soul for him

How the Presbyterians would be angry if they durst

I fear is not so good as she should be

I never designed to be a witness against any man

I was demanded L100, for the fee of the office at 6d. a pound

I took a broom and basted her till she cried extremely

I pray God to make me able to pay for it.

I was angry with her, which I was troubled for

I went to the cook's and got a good joint of meat

I was exceeding free in dallying with her, and she not unfree

I was a great Roundhead when I was a boy

If it should come in print my name maybe at it

Ill all this day by reason of the last night's debauch

In discourse he seems to be wise and say little

In comes Mr. North very sea-sick from shore

In perpetual trouble and vexation that need it least

Inoffensive vanity of a man who loved to see himself in the glass

It not being handsome for our servants to sit so equal with us

John Pickering on board, like an ass, with his feathers

King do tire all his people that are about him with early rising

King's Proclamation against drinking, swearing, and debauchery

Kiss my Parliament, instead of "Kiss my [rump]"

Kissed them myself very often with a great deal of mirth

L100 worth of plate for my Lord to give Secretary Nicholas

Learned the multiplication table for the first time in 1661

Learnt a pretty trick to try whether a woman be a maid or no

Long cloaks being now quite out

Made to drink, that they might know him not to be a Roundhead

Montaigne is conscious that we are looking over his shoulder

Most of my time in looking upon Mrs. Butler

Mottoes inscribed on rings was of Roman origin

Much troubled with thoughts how to get money

My luck to meet with a sort of drolling workmen on all occasions

My new silk suit, the first that ever I wore in my life

My wife and I had some high words

My wife was very unwilling to let me go forth

My wife was making of her tarts and larding of her pullets

My Lord, who took physic to-day and was in his chamber

Nothing in it approaching that single page in St. Simon

Offer me L500 if I would desist from the Clerk of the Acts place

Petition against hackney coaches

Playing the fool with the lass of the house

Posies for Rings, Handkerchers and Gloves

Presbyterians against the House of Lords

Protestants as to the Church of Rome are wholly fanatiques

Put to a great loss how I should get money to make up my cash

Resolve to have the doing of it himself, or else to hinder it

Sceptic in all things of religion

She had six children by the King

Show many the strangest emotions to shift off his drink

Sit up till 2 o'clock that she may call the wench up to wash

Smoke jack consists of a wind-wheel fixed in the chimney

So we went to bed and lay all night in a quarrel

So I took occasion to go up and to bed in a pet

Some merry talk with a plain bold maid of the house

Strange thing how I am already courted by the people

Strange how civil and tractable he was to me

The present Irish pronunciation of English

The rest did give more, and did believe that I did so too

The ceremonies did not please me, they do so overdo them

There being ten hanged, drawn, and quartered

This afternoon I showed my Lord my accounts, which he passed

This day I began to put on buckles to my shoes

Thus it was my chance to see the King beheaded at White Hall

To see the bride put to bed

To the Swan and drank our morning draft

To see Major-general Harrison hanged, drawn; and quartered

Upon the leads gazing upon Diana

We cannot tell what to do for want of her (the maid)

Wedding for which the posy ring was required

Went to bed with my head not well by my too much drinking to-day

Where I find the worst very good

Which I did give him some hope of, though I never intend it

Woman that they have a fancy to, to make her husband a cuckold

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JAN/FEB/MAR 1660/61 [sp11g10.txt]

A lady spit backward upon me by a mistake

A most tedious, unreasonable, and impertinent sermon

Comely black woman.—[The old expression for a brunette.]

Cruel custom of throwing at cocks on Shrove Tuesday

Day I first begun to go forth in my coat and sword

Discontented that my wife do not go neater now she has two maids

Fell to dancing, the first time that ever I did in my life

Have been so long absent that I am ashamed to go

I took occasion to be angry with him

Justice of God in punishing men for the sins of their ancestors

Lady Batten to give me a spoonful of honey for my cold

My great expense at the Coronacion

She hath got her teeth new done by La Roche

That I might not seem to be afeared

The monkey loose, which did anger me, and so I did strike her

Was kissing my wife, which I did not like

We are to go to law never to revenge, but only to repayre

Who we found ill still, but he do make very much of it

Wronged by my over great expectations

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, APR/MAY 1661 [sp12g10.txt]

A little while since a very likely man to live as any I knew

Being sure never to see the like again in this world

Believe that England and France were once the same continent

Chocolate was introduced into England about the year 1652

Did trouble me very much to be at charge to no purpose

Difference there will be between my father and mother about it

Eat of the best cold meats that ever I eat on in all my life

Foolery to take too much notice of such things

Frogs and many insects do often fall from the sky, ready formed

I could not forbear to love her exceedingly

I had the opportunity of kissing Mrs. Rebecca very often

I was as merry as I could counterfeit myself to be

I went in and kissed them, demanding it as a fee due

Jealousy of him and an ugly wench that lived there lately

Lay with her to-night, which I have not done these eight(days)

Made a lazy sermon, like a Presbyterian

She would not let him come to bed to her out of jealousy

So home and to bed, where my wife had not lain a great while

The barber came to trim me and wash me

Troubled to see my father so much decay of a suddain

What people will do tomorrow

What they all, through profit or fear, did promise

Who seems so inquisitive when my, house will be made an end of

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JUN/JUL/AUG 1661 [sp13g10.txt]

A great baboon, but so much like a man in most things

A play not very good, though commended much

Begun to smell, and so I caused it to be set forth (corpse)

Bleeding behind by leeches will cure

By chewing of tobacco is become very fat and sallow

Cannot bring myself to mind my business

Durst not take notice of her, her husband being there

Faced white coat, made of one of my wife's pettycoates

Family being all in mourning, doing him the greatest honour

Fear I shall not be able to wipe my hands of him again

Finding my wife not sick, but yet out of order

Found him not so ill as I thought that he had been ill

Found my brother John at eight o'clock in bed, which vexed me

Good God! how these ignorant people did cry her up for it!

Greedy to see the will, but did not ask to see it till to-morrow

His company ever wearys me

I broke wind and so came to some ease

I would fain have stolen a pretty dog that followed me

Instructed by Shakespeare himself

Lady Batten how she was such a man's whore

Lately too much given to seeing of plays, and expense

Lewdness and beggary of the Court

Look askew upon my wife, because my wife do not buckle to them

None will sell us any thing without our personal security given

Quakers do still continue, and rather grow than lessen

Sat before Mrs. Palmer, the King's mistress, and filled my eyes

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

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, SEP/OCT 1661 [sp14g10.txt]

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

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JAN/FEB 1662/63 [sp24g10.txt]

After oysters, at first course, a hash of rabbits, a lamb

At last we pretty good friends

Before I sent my boy out with them, I beat him for a lie

Dr. Calamy is this day sent to Newgate for preaching

Eat a mouthful of pye at home to stay my stomach

Familiarity with her other servants is it that spoils them all

Feverish, and hath sent for Mr. Pierce to let him blood

Found him a fool, as he ever was, or worse

Goes down the wind in honour as well as every thing else

Had a good supper of an oxe's cheek

Hanged with a silken halter

How highly the Presbyters do talk in the coffeehouses still

I and she never were so heartily angry in our lives as to-day

Ill humour to be so against that which all the world cries up

Lady Castlemaine hath all the King's Christmas presents

Lay chiding, and then pleased with my wife in bed

Lay very long with my wife in bed talking with great pleasure

Liability of a husband to pay for goods supplied his wife

Many thousands in a little time go out of England

Money, which sweetens all things

Most flat dead sermon, both for matter and manner of delivery

Much discourse, but little to be learned

Nor will yield that the Papists have any ground given them

Nothing in the world done with true integrity

Once a week or so I know a gentleman must go . . . .

Pain of the stone, and makes bloody water with great pain

Rabbit not half roasted, which made me angry with my wife

Scholler, but, it may be, thinks himself to be too much so

See how time and example may alter a man

Servant of the King's pleasures too, as well as business

So home, and mighty friends with my wife again

So neat and kind one to another

Sorry for doing it now, because of obliging me to do the like

Talk very highly of liberty of conscience

The house was full of citizens, and so the less pleasant

There is no passing but by coach in the streets, and hardly that

These young Lords are not fit to do any service abroad

They were so false spelt that I was ashamed of them

Vexed at my wife's neglect in leaving of her scarf

Wine, new and old, with labells pasted upon each bottle

With much ado in an hour getting a coach home

Yet it was her fault not to see that I did take them

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MAR/APR 1662/63 [sp25g10.txt]

Academy was dissolved by order of the Pope

After some pleasant talk, my wife, Ashwell, and I to bed

And so to bed, my father lying with me in Ashwell's bed

Dare not oppose it alone for making an enemy and do no good

Dinner was great, and most neatly dressed

Dog attending us, which made us all merry again

Galileo's air thermometer, made before 1597

I do not find other people so willing to do business as myself

I was very angry, and resolve to beat him to-morrow

Insurrection of the Catholiques there

Justice of proceeding not to condemn a man unheard

Matters in Ireland are full of discontent

My maid Susan ill, or would be thought so

Parliament do agree to throw down Popery

Railed bitterly ever and anon against John Calvin

She is conceited that she do well already

So home to supper and bed with my father

That he is not able to live almost with her

That I might say I saw no money in the paper

There is no man almost in the City cares a turd for him

Though it be but little, yet I do get ground every month

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MAY/JUN 1663 [sp26g10.txt]

A woman sober, and no high-flyer, as he calls it

After awhile I caressed her and parted seeming friends

Book itself, and both it and them not worth a turd

But a woful rude rabble there was, and such noises

Did find none of them within, which I was glad of

Did so watch to see my wife put on drawers, which (she did)

Duodecimal arithmetique

Employed by the fencers to play prizes at

Enquiring into the selling of places do trouble a great many

Every small thing is enough now-a-days to bring a difference

Give her a Lobster and do so touse her and feel her all over

God knows that I do not find honesty enough in my own mind

Goes with his guards with him publiquely, and his trumpets

Great plot which was lately discovered in Ireland

He hoped he should live to see her "ugly and willing"

He is too wise to be made a friend of

I calling her beggar, and she me pricklouse, which vexed me

I slept most of the sermon

In some churches there was hardly ten people in the whole church

It must be the old ones that must do any good

Jealous, though God knows I have no great reason

John has got a wife, and for that he intends to part with him

Keep at interest, which is a good, quiett, and easy profit

Lay long in bed talking and pleasing myself with my wife

My wife and her maid Ashwell had between them spilled the pot. . . .

No sense nor grammar, yet in as good words that ever I saw

Nor would become obliged too much to any

Nothing is to be got without offending God and the King

Nothing of any truth and sincerity, but mere envy and design

Reading my Latin grammar, which I perceive I have great need

Sad for want of my wife, whom I love with all my heart

Saw his people go up and down louseing themselves

See whether my wife did wear drawers to-day as she used to do

Sent me last night, as a bribe, a barrel of sturgeon

She begins not at all to take pleasure in me or study to please

She used the word devil, which vexed me

So home, and after supper did wash my feet, and so to bed

Softly up to see whether any of the beds were out of order or no

Statute against selling of offices

The goldsmith, he being one of the jury to-morrow

Thence by coach, with a mad coachman, that drove like mad

Therefore ought not to expect more justice from her

They say now a common mistress to the King

Through the Fleete Ally to see a couple of pretty [strumpets]

Upon a small temptation I could be false to her

Waked this morning between four and five by my blackbird

Whose voice I am not to be reconciled

Wife and the dancing-master alone above, not dancing but talking

Would not make my coming troublesome to any

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JUL/AUG 1663 [sp27g10.txt]

And so to bed and there entertained her with great content

Apprehend about one hundred Quakers

Being cleansed of lice this day by my wife

Conceited, but that's no matter to me

Fear it may do him no good, but me hurt

Fearful that I might not go far enough with my hat off

He having made good promises, though I fear his performance

My wife has got too great head to be brought down soon

So much is it against my nature to owe anything to any body

Sporting in my fancy with the Queen

Things being dear and little attendance to be had we went away

Towzing her and doing what I would, but the last thing of all. . . .

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, SEP/OCT 1663 [sp28g10.txt]

And so to sleep till the morning, but was bit cruelly

And there, did what I would with her

Content as to be at our own home, after being abroad awhile

Found guilty, and likely will be hanged (for stealing spoons)

Half a pint of Rhenish wine at the Still-yard, mixed with beer

His readiness to speak spoilt all

No more matter being made of the death of one than another

Out of an itch to look upon the sluts there

Plague is much in Amsterdam, and we in fears of it here

Pride himself too much in it

Reckon nothing money but when it is in the bank

Resolve to live well and die a beggar

Scholler, that would needs put in his discourse (every occasion)

She was so ill as to be shaved and pidgeons put to her feet

The plague is got to Amsterdam, brought by a ship from Argier

We having no luck in maids now-a-days

Who is over head and eares in getting her house up

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, NOV/DEC 1663 [sp29g10.txt]

Again that she spoke but somewhat of what she had in her heart

Better we think than most other couples do

Compliment from my aunt, which I take kindly as it is unusual

Did go to Shoe Lane to see a cocke-fighting at a new pit there

Dined at home alone, a good calves head boiled and dumplings

Every man looking after himself, and his owne lust and luxury

Excommunications, which they send upon the least occasions

Expectation of profit will have its force

King was gone to play at Tennis

Opening his mind to him as of one that may hereafter be his foe

Pen was then turned Quaker

Persuade me that she should prove with child since last night

Pride and debauchery of the present clergy

Quakers being charmed by a string about their wrists

Taught my wife some part of subtraction

To bed with discontent she yielded to me and began to be fond

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JAN/FEB 1663/64 [sp31g10.txt]

A mad merry slut she is

A real and not a complimentary acknowledgment

At least 12 or 14,000 people in the street (to see the hanging)

Bearing more sayle will go faster than any other ships(multihull)

But the wench went, and I believe had her turn served

Chatted with her, her husband out of the way

Could not saw above 4 inches of the stone in a day

Do look upon me as a remembrancer of his former vanity

Fear of making her think me to be in a better condition

Few in any age that do mind anything that is abstruse

God forgive me! what thoughts and wishes I had

Good writers are not admired by the present

Hear something of the effects of our last meeting (pregnancy?)

I do not like his being angry and in debt both together to me

I will not by any over submission make myself cheap

Ireland in a very distracted condition

Jane going into the boat did fall down and show her arse

King is mighty kind to these his bastard children

King still do doat upon his women, even beyond all shame

Mankind pleasing themselves in the easy delights of the world

Play good, but spoiled with the ryme, which breaks the sense

Pleased to look upon their pretty daughter

Pray God give me a heart to fear a fall, and to prepare for it!

Pretty sayings, which are generally like paradoxes

Ryme, which breaks the sense

Sent my wife to get a place to see Turner hanged

Sheriffs did endeavour to get one jewell

So home to prayers and to bed

Such open flattery is beastly

Talked with Mrs. Lane about persuading her to Hawly

Their saws have no teeth, but it is the sand only

There did see Mrs. Lane. . . . .

Travels over the high hills in Asia above the clouds

Wherein every party has laboured to cheat another

Willing to receive a bribe if it were offered me

Would make a dogg laugh

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MARCH 1663/64 [sp32g10.txt]

Doubtfull of himself, and easily be removed from his own opinion

Drink a dish of coffee

Ill from my late cutting my hair so close to my head

Nothing of the memory of a man, an houre after he is dead!

She had got and used some puppy-dog water

Subject to be put into a disarray upon very small occasions

Very angry we were, but quickly friends again

Went against me to have my wife and servants look upon them

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, APR/MAY 1664 [sp33g10.txt]

Bath at the top of his house

Fear all his kindness is but only his lust to her

Fetch masts from New England

Find myself to over-value things when a child

Generally with corruption, but most indeed with neglect

I slept soundly all the sermon

In a hackney and full of people, was ashamed to be seen

In my dining-room she was doing something upon the pott

Methought very ill, or else I am grown worse to please

Mrs. Lane was gone forth, and so I missed of my intent

Saw "The German Princess" acted, by the woman herself

Slabbering my band sent home for another

That hair by hair had his horse's tail pulled off indeed

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JUN/JUL 1664 [sp34g10.txt]

All divided that were bred so long at school together

Began discourse of my not getting of children

Came to bed to me, but all would not make me friends

Feared I might meet with some people that might know me

Had no mind to meddle with her

Her impudent tricks and ways of getting money

How little to be presumed of in our greatest undertakings

Mind to have her bring it home

My wife made great means to be friends, coming to my bedside

Never to trust too much to any man in the world

Not well, and so had no pleasure at all with my poor wife

Not when we can, but when we list

Now against her going into the country (lay together)

Periwigg he lately made me cleansed of its nits

Presse seamen, without which we cannot really raise men

Shakespeare's plays

She had the cunning to cry a great while, and talk and blubber

There eat and drank, and had my pleasure of her twice

These Lords are hard to be trusted

Things wear out of themselves and come fair again

To my Lord Sandwich, thinking to have dined there

Upon a very small occasion had a difference again broke out

Very high and very foule words from her to me

What wine you drinke, lett it bee at meales

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, AUG/SEP 1664 [sp35g10.txt]

All the men were dead of the plague, and the ship cast ashore

And with the great men in curing of their claps

Expressly taking care that nobody might see this business done

Having some experience, but greater conceit of it than is fit

Helping to slip their calfes when there is occasion

Her months upon her is gone to bed

I had agreed with Jane Welsh, but she came not, which vexed me

Lay long caressing my wife and talking

Let her brew as she has baked

New Netherlands to English rule, under the title of New York

Reduced the Dutch settlement of New Netherlands to English rule

Staid two hours with her kissing her, but nothing more

Strange slavery that I stand in to beauty

Thinks she is with child, but I neither believe nor desire it

Up, my mind very light from my last night's accounts

We do nothing in this office like people able to carry on a warr

Would either conform, or be more wise, and not be catched!

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, OCT/NOV 1664 [sp36g10.txt]

About several businesses, hoping to get money by them

After many protestings by degrees I did arrive at what I would

All ended in love

Below what people think these great people say and do

Even to the having bad words with my wife, and blows too

Expected musique, the missing of which spoiled my dinner

Gadding abroad to look after beauties

Greatest businesses are done so superficially

Little children employed, every one to do something

Meazles, we fear, or, at least, of a scarlett feavour

My leg fell in a hole broke on the bridge

My wife was angry with me for not coming home, and for gadding

Not the greatest wits, but the steady man

Rotten teeth and false, set in with wire

Till 12 at night, and then home to supper and to bed

What a sorry dispatch these great persons give to business

What is there more to be had of a woman than the possessing her

Where a trade hath once been and do decay, it never recovers

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, DECEMBER 1664 [sp37g10.txt]

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JAN/FEB 1964/65 [sp39g10.txt]

Accounts I never did see, or hope again to see in my days

At a loss whether it will be better for me to have him die

By his many words and no understanding, confound himself

Church, where a most insipid young coxcomb preached

Clean myself with warm water; my wife will have me

Costs me 12d. a kiss after the first

Find that now and then a little difference do no hurte

Going with her woman to a hot-house to bathe herself

Good discourse and counsel from him, which I hope I shall take

Great thaw it is not for a man to walk the streets

Heard noises over their head upon the leads

His disease was the pox and that he must be fluxed (Rupert)

I know not how their fortunes may agree

If the exportations exceed importations

It is a strange thing how fancy works

Law against it signifies nothing in the world

Law and severity were used against drunkennesse

Luxury and looseness of the times

Must be forced to confess it to my wife, which troubles me

My wife after her bathing lying alone in another bed

No man is wise at all times

Offer to give me a piece to receive of me 20

Pretends to a resolution of being hereafter very clean

Sat an hour or two talking and discoursing . . . .

So great a trouble is fear

Those bred in the North among the colliers are good for labour

Tied our men back to back, and thrown them all into the sea

Too much of it will make her know her force too much

Up, leaving my wife in bed, being sick of her months

When she least shews it hath her wit at work

Where money is free, there is great plenty

Who is the most, and promises the least, of any man

Wife that brings me nothing almost (besides a comely person)

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MAR/APR 1964/65 [sp40g10.txt]

Castlemayne is sicke again, people think, slipping her filly

Desired me that I would baste his coate

Did put evil thoughts in me, but proceeded no further

France, which is accounted the best place for bread

How Povy overdoes every thing in commending it

Never could man say worse himself nor have worse said

Wanton as ever she was, with much I made myself merry and away

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MAY/JUN 1665 [sp41g10.txt]

A vineyard, the first that ever I did see

All the towne almost going out of towne (Plague panic)

Buy some roll-tobacco to smell to and chaw

Consult my pillow upon that and every great thing of my life

Convenience of periwiggs is so great

Dying this last week of the plague 112, from 43 the week before

Hear that the plague is come into the City

Houses marked with a red cross upon the doors

My old folly and childishnesse hangs upon me still

Plague claimed 68,596 victims (in 1665)

Pride of some persons and vice of most was but a sad story

The coachman that carried [us] cannot know me again

Though neither of us care 2d. one for another

Which may teach me how I make others wait

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JULY 1665 [sp42g10.txt]

About two o'clock, too late and too soon to go home to bed

And all to dinner and sat down to the King saving myself

Baseness and looseness of the Court

Being able to do little business (but the less the better)

Contracted for her as if he had been buying a horse

Did bear with it, and very pleasant all the while

Doubtfull whether her daughter will like of it or no

Endeavouring to strike tallys for money for Tangier

For, for her part, she should not be buried in the commons

Had what pleasure almost I would with her

Hath a good heart to bear, or a cunning one to conceal his evil

I have promised, but know not when I shall perform

I kissed the bride in bed, and so the curtaines drawne

Less he finds of difference between them and other men

Lord! in the dullest insipid manner that ever lover did

Nan at Moreclacke, very much pleased and merry with her

Not had the confidence to take his lady once by the hand

Out of my purse I dare not for fear of a precedent

Plague, forty last night, the bell always going

Pretty to see the young pretty ladies dressed like men

So to bed, to be up betimes by the helpe of a larum watch

This absence makes us a little strange instead of more fond

What silly discourse we had by the way as to love-matters

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, AUGUST 1665 [sp43g10.txt]

A fair salute on horseback, in Rochester streets, of the lady

Bagwell's wife waited at the door, and went with me to my office

Because I would not be over sure of any thing

Being the first Wednesday of the month

Bottle of strong water; whereof now and then a sip did me good

Copper to the value of L5,000

Disease making us more cruel to one another than if we are doggs

Every body is at a great losse and nobody can tell

Every body's looks, and discourse in the street is of death

First thing of that nature I did ever give her (L10 ring)

For my quiet would not enquire into it

Give the other notice of the future state, if there was any

His wife and three children died, all, I think, in a day

How sad a sight it is to see the streets empty of people

I met a dead corps of the plague, in the narrow ally

In our graves (as Shakespeere resembles it) we could dream

King is not at present in purse to do

King shall not be able to whip a cat

Not liking that it should lie long undone, for fear of death

Ordered in the yarde six or eight bargemen to be whipped

Pest coaches and put her into it to carry her to a pest house

Quakers and others that will not have any bell ring for them

Resolving not to be bribed to dispatch business

Two shops in three, if not more, generally shut up

Well enough pleased this morning with their night's lodging

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, SEPTEMBER 1665 [sp44g10.txt]

And feeling for a chamber-pott, there was none

Discourse of Mr. Evelyn touching all manner of learning

Fell to sleep as if angry

King himself minding nothing but his ease

Not to be censured if their necessities drive them to bad

Ordered him L2000, and he paid me my quantum out of it

Sicke men that are recovered, they lying before our office doors

Told us he had not been in a bed in the whole seven years

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, OCTOBER 1665 [sp45g10.txt]

A conceited man, but of no Logique in his head at all

Best poem that ever was wrote (Siege of Rhodes)

French have taken two and sunk one of our merchant-men

Hath sent me masters that do observe that I take pains

How little heed is had to the prisoners and sicke and wounded

How unhppily a man may fall into a necessity of bribing people

Lechery will never leave him

Money I have not, nor can get

Mr. Evelyn's translating and sending me as a present

Poor seamen that lie starving in the streets

Saying me to be the fittest man in England

Searchers with their rods in their hands

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, NOV/DEC 1665 [sp46g10.txt]

A most conceited fellow and not over much in him

A pretty man, I would be content to break a commandment with him

Among many lazy people that the diligent man becomes necessary

Delight to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition

Great many silly stories they tell of their sport

His enemies have done him as much good as he could wish

How little merit do prevail in the world, but only favour

I am a foole to be troubled at it, since I cannot helpe it

L10,000 to the Prince, and half-a-crowne to my Lord of Sandwich

Left him with some Commanders at the table taking tobacco

One whom a great belly becomes as well as ever I saw any

Pleases them mightily, and me not at all

See how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody

The boy is well, and offers to be searched

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, 1665 N.S. COMPLETE [sp47g10.txt]

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 of the future state, if there was any

Going with her woman to a hot-house to bathe herself

Good discourse and counsel from him, which I hope I shall take

Great many silly stories they tell of their sport

Great thaw it is not for a man to walk the streets

Had what pleasure almost I would with her

Hath sent me masters that do observe that I take pains

Hath a good heart to bear, or a cunning one to conceal his evil

Hear that the plague is come into the City

Heard noises over their head upon the leads

His wife and three children died, all, I think, in a day

His disease was the pox and that he must be fluxed (Rupert)

His enemies have done him as much good as he could wish

Houses marked with a red cross upon the doors

How sad a sight it is to see the streets empty of people

How little merit do prevail in the world, but only favour

How little heed is had to the prisoners and sicke and wounded

How Povy overdoes every thing in commending it

How unhppily a man may fall into a necessity of bribing people

I kissed the bride in bed, and so the curtaines drawne

I have promised, but know not when I shall perform

I know not how their fortunes may agree

I met a dead corps of the plague, in the narrow ally

I am a foole to be troubled at it, since I cannot helpe it

If the exportations exceed importations

In our graves (as Shakespeere resembles it) we could dream

It is a strange thing how fancy works

King shall not be able to whip a cat

King himself minding nothing but his ease

King is not at present in purse to do

L10,000 to the Prince, and half-a-crowne to my Lord of Sandwich

Law against it signifies nothing in the world

Law and severity were used against drunkennesse

Lechery will never leave him

Left him with some Commanders at the table taking tobacco

Less he finds of difference between them and other men

Lord! in the dullest insipid manner that ever lover did

Luxury and looseness of the times

Money I have not, nor can get

Mr. Evelyn's translating and sending me as a present

Must be forced to confess it to my wife, which troubles me

My wife after her bathing lying alone in another bed

My old folly and childishnesse hangs upon me still

Nan at Moreclacke, very much pleased and merry with her

Never could man say worse himself nor have worse said

No man is wise at all times

Not had the confidence to take his lady once by the hand

Not liking that it should lie long undone, for fear of death

Not to be censured if their necessities drive them to bad

Offer to give me a piece to receive of me 20

One whom a great belly becomes as well as ever I saw any

Ordered him L2000, and he paid me my quantum out of it

Ordered in the yarde six or eight bargemen to be whipped

Out of my purse I dare not for fear of a precedent

Pest coaches and put her into it to carry her to a pest house

Plague claimed 68,596 victims (in 1665)

Plague, forty last night, the bell always going

Pleases them mightily, and me not at all

Poor seamen that lie starving in the streets

Pretends to a resolution of being hereafter very clean

Pretty to see the young pretty ladies dressed like men

Pride of some persons and vice of most was but a sad story

Quakers and others that will not have any bell ring for them

Resolving not to be bribed to dispatch business

Sat an hour or two talking and discoursing . . . .

Saying me to be the fittest man in England

Searchers with their rods in their hands

See how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody

Sicke men that are recovered, they lying before our office doors

So to bed, to be up betimes by the helpe of a larum watch

So great a trouble is fear

The coachman that carried [us] cannot know me again

The boy is well, and offers to be searched

This absence makes us a little strange instead of more fond

Those bred in the North among the colliers are good for labour

Though neither of us care 2d. one for another

Tied our men back to back, and thrown them all into the sea

Told us he had not been in a bed in the whole seven years

Too much of it will make her know her force too much

Two shops in three, if not more, generally shut up

Up, leaving my wife in bed, being sick of her months

Wanton as ever she was, with much I made myself merry and away

Well enough pleased this morning with their night's lodging

What silly discourse we had by the way as to love-matters

When she least shews it hath her wit at work

Where money is free, there is great plenty

Which may teach me how I make others wait

Who is the most, and promises the least, of any man

Wife that brings me nothing almost (besides a comely person)

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JAN/FEB 1965/66 [sp48g10.txt]

After a harsh word or two my wife and I good friends

By and by met at her chamber, and there did what I would

Did drink of the College beer, which is very good

Got her upon my knee (the coach being full) and played with her

Lady Duchesse the veryest slut and drudge

Last act of friendship in telling me of my faults also

Scotch song of "Barbary Allen"

Tooth-ake made him no company, and spoilt ours

Wherewith to give every body something for their pains

Who must except against every thing and remedy nothing

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MAR/APR 1665/66 [SP#49][sp49g10.txt]4164

Ashamed at myself for this losse of time

Begun to write idle and from the purpose

Counterfeit mirthe and pleasure with them, but had but little

Driven down again with a stinke by Sir W. Pen's shying of a pot

Great newes of the Swedes declaring for us against the Dutch

He has been inconvenienced by being too free in discourse

Mass, and some of their musique, which is not so contemptible

Reading over my dear "Faber fortunae," of my Lord Bacon's

Thence to Mrs. Martin's, and did what I would with her

Through want of money and good conduct

Too late for them to enjoy it with any pleasure

Tooke my wife well dressed into the Hall to see and be seen

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MAY/JUN 1666 [sp50g10.txt]

A cat will be a cat still

And if ever I fall on it again, I deserve to be undone

Apprehension of the King of France's invading us

As very a gossip speaking of her neighbours as any body

Baited at Islington, and so late home about 11 at night

Called at a little ale-house, and had an eele pye

Checking her last night in the coach in her long stories

Foretelling the draught of water of a ship before she be launche

Great deale of tittle tattle discourse to little purpose

He is such innocent company

Here I first saw oranges grow

I do not value her, or mind her as I ought

I to bed even by daylight

Long petticoat dragging under their men's coats

Mightily pleased with myself for the business that I have done

Mightily vexed at my being abroad with these women

Never fought with worse officers in his life

Not being well pleased with her over free and loose company

Now very big, and within a fortnight of lying down

Out also to and fro, to see and be seen

Providing against a foule day to get as much money into my hands

Rejoiced over head and ears in this good newes

Requisite I be prepared against the man's friendship

Sang till about twelve at night, with mighty pleasure

Send up and down for a nurse to take the girle home

Shy of any warr hereafter, or to prepare better for it

So back again home to supper and to bed with great pleasure

So home and to supper with beans and bacon and to bed

That I may look as a man minding business

There did what I would with her

There did what 'je voudrais avec' her . . . .

Think that we are beaten in every respect

This is the use we make of our fathers

Took him home the money, and, though much to my grief

Unless my too-much addiction to pleasure undo me

What itching desire I did endeavour to see Bagwell's wife

Young man play the foole upon the doctrine of purgatory

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JULY 1666 [sp51g10.txt]

Better the musique, the more sicke it makes him

Contempt of the ceremoniousnesse of the King of Spayne

Listening to no reasoning for it, be it good or bad

Many women now-a-days of mean sort in the streets, but no men

Milke, which I drank to take away, my heartburne

No money to do it with, nor anybody to trust us without it

Rather hear a cat mew, than the best musique in the world

Says, of all places, if there be hell, it is here

So to bed in some little discontent, but no words from me

The gentlemen captains will undo us

To bed, after washing my legs and feet with warm water

Venison-pasty that we have for supper to-night to the cook's

With a shower of hail as big as walnuts

World sees now the use of them for shelter of men (fore-castles)

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, AUG/SEP 1666 [sp52g10.txt]

About my new closet, for my mind is full of nothing but that

About the nature of sounds

All the innocent pleasure in the world

Angry, and so continued till bed, and did not sleep friends

Beare-garden

Being examined at Allgate, whether we were husbands and wives

Did dig another, and put our wine in it; and I my Parmazan cheese

Do bury still of the plague seven or eight in a day

Durst not ask any body how it was with us

Evelyn, who cries out against it, and calls it bitchering

Fire grow; and, as it grew darker, appeared more and more

Good sport of the bull's tossing of the dogs

Great fire they saw in the City

Horrid malicious bloody flame

I never did observe so much of myself in my life

No manner of means used to quench the fire

Not permit her begin to do so, lest worse should follow

Offered to stop the fire near his house for such a reward

Pain to ride in a coach with them, for fear of being seen

Plot in it, and that the French had done it

Put up with too much care, that I have forgot where they are

Removing goods from one burned house to another

Sad sight it was: the whole City almost on fire

Staying out late, and painting in the absence of her husband

There did 'tout ce que je voudrais avec' her

This unhappinesse of ours do give them heart

Ye pulling down of houses, in ye way of ye fire

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, OCTOBER 1666 [sp53g10.txt]

Being there, and seeming to do something, while we do not

Bill against importing Irish cattle

Bringing over one discontented man, you raise up three

But how many years I cannot tell; but my wife says ten

But pretty! how I took another pretty woman for her

Catholiques are everywhere and bold

Did tumble them all the afternoon as I pleased

Discoursing upon the sad condition of the times

Exceeding kind to me, more than usual, which makes me afeard

Fashion, the King says; he will never change

I did what I would, and might have done anything else

King be desired to put all Catholiques out of employment

King hath lost his power, by submitting himself to this way

So home to supper, and to bed, it being my wedding night

The very rum man must have L200

Time spending, and no money to set anything in hand

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, NOVEMBER 1666 [sp54g10.txt]

Amending of bad blood by borrowing from a better body

And for his beef, says he, "Look how fat it is"

First their apes, that they may be afterwards their slaves

For a land-tax and against a general excise

I had six noble dishes for them, dressed by a man-cook

In opposition to France, had made us throw off their fashion

Magnifying the graces of the nobility and prelates

Origin in the use of a plane against the grain of the wood

Play on the harpsicon, till she tired everybody

Reading to my wife and brother something in Chaucer

Said that there hath been a design to poison the King

Tax the same man in three or four several capacities

There I did lay the beginnings of a future 'amour con elle'

Too much ill newes true, to afflict ourselves with uncertain

What I had writ foule in short hand

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, DECEMBER 1666 [sp55g10.txt]

Being five years behindhand for their wages (court musicians)

But fit she should live where he hath a mind

Gladder to have just now received it (than a promise)

Most homely widow, but young, and pretty rich, and good natured

No Parliament can, as he says, be kept long good

Peace with France, which, as a Presbyterian, he do not like

That I may have nothing by me but what is worth keeping

Weary of the following of my pleasure

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

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MARCH 1966/67 [sp59g10.txt]

Angling with a minikin, a gut-string varnished over

Better now than never

Bring me a periwig, but it was full of nits

Buying up of goods in case there should be war

For I will not be inward with him that is open to another

He is a man of no worth in the world but compliment

History of this day's growth, we cannot tell the truth

I love the treason I hate the traitor

King of France did think other princes fit for nothing

My wife will keep to one another and let the world go hang

No man knowing what to do, whether to sell or buy

Not more than I expected, nor so much by a great deal as I ought

Now above six months since (smoke from the cellars)

Reparation for what we had embezzled

Uncertainty of all history

Whatever I do give to anybody else, I shall give her

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, APRIL 1667 [sp60g10.txt]

As he called it, the King's seventeenth whore abroad

He is not a man fit to be told what one hears

I having now seen a play every day this week

Ill sign when we are once to come to study how to excuse

King is offended with the Duke of Richmond's marrying

Mrs. Stewart's sending the King his jewels again

Much difficulty to get pews, I offering the sexton money

My people do observe my minding my pleasure more than usual

My wife this night troubled at my leaving her alone so much

Never was known to keep two mistresses in his life (Charles II.)

Officers are four years behind-hand unpaid

Sparrowgrass

Suspect the badness of the peace we shall make

Swear they will not go to be killed and have no pay

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MAY 1667 [sp61g10.txt]

Advantage a man of the law hath over all other people

Certainly Annapolis must be defended,—where is Annapolis?

Credit of this office hath received by this rogue's occasion

Did take me up very prettily in one or two things that I said

Father, who to supper and betimes to bed at his country hours

Give the King of France Nova Scotia, which he do not like

Hath given her the pox, but I hope it is not so

How do the children?

Hunt up and down with its mouth if you touch the cheek

Just set down to dinner, and I dined with them, as I intended

Little worth of this world, to buy it with so much pain

Looks to lie down about two months hence

Pit, where the bears are baited

Said to die with the cleanest hands that ever any Lord Treasurer

Says of wood, that it is an excrescence of the earth

Shame such a rogue should give me and all of us this trouble

Street ordered to be continued, forty feet broad, from Paul's

Think never to see this woman—at least, to have her here more

We find the two young ladies come home, and their patches off

Which he left him in the lurch

Who continues so ill as not to be troubled with business

Whose red nose makes me ashamed to be seen with him

Wretch, n., often used as an expression of endearment

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JUNE 1667 [sp62g10.txt]

Buying his place of my Lord Barkely

Heeling her on one side to make her draw little water

Know yourself to be secure, in being necessary to the office

Night the Dutch burned our ships the King did sup with Castlemayne

Young fellow, with his hat cocked like a fool behind

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JULY 1667 [sp63g10.txt]

20s. in money, and what wine she needed, for the burying him

Archbishop is a wencher, and known to be so

Bold to deliver what he thinks on every occasion

Cast stones with his horne crooke

Court is in a way to ruin all for their pleasures

Dash the brains of it out before the King's face

Dog, that would turn a sheep any way which

Dutch fleets being in so many places

Fool's play with which all publick things are done

Good purpose of fitting ourselves for another war (A Peace)

He was charged with making himself popular

King governed by his lust, and women, and rogues about him

King is at the command of any woman like a slave

King the necessity of having, at least, a show of religion

Never to keep a country-house, but to keep a coach

Nobody being willing to trust us for anything

She has this silly vanity that she must play

So every thing stands still for money

They are all mad; and thus the kingdom is governed!

What way a man could devise to lose so much in so little time

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, AUGUST 1667 [sp64g10.txt]

Beginnings of discontents take so much root between us

Eat some of the best cheese-cakes that ever I eat in my life

Hugged, it being cold now in the mornings . . . .

I would not enquire into anything, but let her talk

Ill-bred woman, would take exceptions at anything any body said

Kingdom will fall back again to a commonwealth

Little content most people have in the peace

Necessary, and yet the peace is so bad in its terms

Never laughed so in all my life. I laughed till my head ached

Nobody knows which side will be uppermost

Sermon ended, and the church broke up, and my amours ended also

Spends his time here most, playing at bowles

Take pins out of her pocket to prick me if I should touch her

The gates of the City shut, it being so late

They want where to set their feet, to begin to do any thing

Troubled to think what trouble a rogue may without cause give

Wise men do prepare to remove abroad what they have

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, SEPTEMBER 1667 [sp65g10.txt]

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, OCTOBER 1667 [sp66g10.txt]

Commons, where there is nothing done but by passion, and faction

Disquiet all night, telling of the clock till it was daylight

Painful to keep money, as well as to get it

Sorry thing to be a poor King

Spares not to blame another to defend himself

Wise man's not being wise at all times

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, NOVEMBER 1667 [sp67g10.txt]

Anthem anything but instrumentall musique with the voice

Chief Court of judicature (House of Lords)

Confidence, and vanity, and disparages everything

Had the umbles of it for dinner

I am not a man able to go through trouble, as other men

Liberty of speech in the House

Nor offer anything, but just what is drawn out of a man

Through my wife's illness had a bad night of it, and she a worse

What I said would not hold water

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, DECEMBER 1967 [sp68g10.txt]

A gainful trade, but yet make me great trouble

Every body leads, and nobody follows

Lady Castlemayne's nose out of joynt

Make a man wonder at the good fortune of such a fool

Mr. William Pen a Quaker again

Run over their beads with one hand, and point and play and talk

Silence; it being seldom any wrong to a man to say nothing

Speaks rarely, which pleases me mightily

Sport to me to see him so earnest on so little occasion

Supper and to bed without one word one to another

Voyage to Newcastle for coles

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, 1667 N.S. COMPLETE [sp69g10.txt]

20s. in money, and what wine she needed, for the burying him

A gainful trade, but yet make me great trouble

Act of Council passed, to put out all Papists in office

Advantage a man of the law hath over all other people

And a deal of do of which I am weary

Angling with a minikin, a gut-string varnished over

Anthem anything but instrumentall musique with the voice

Archbishop is a wencher, and known to be so

As he called it, the King's seventeenth whore abroad

Baker's house in Pudding Lane, where the late great fire begun

Beginnings of discontents take so much root between us

Being taken with a Psalmbook or Testament

Better now than never

Bill against importing Cattle from Ireland

Bold to deliver what he thinks on every occasion

Bring me a periwig, but it was full of nits

But do it with mighty vanity and talking

But my wife vexed, which vexed me

Buying his place of my Lord Barkely

Buying up of goods in case there should be war

Cast stones with his horne crooke

Certainly Annapolis must be defended,—where is Annapolis?

Chief Court of judicature (House of Lords)

Clap of the pox which he got about twelve years ago

Come to us out of bed in his furred mittens and furred cap

Commons, where there is nothing done but by passion, and faction

Confidence, and vanity, and disparages everything

Consider that this is all the pleasure I live for in the world

Court full of great apprehensions of the French

Court is in a way to ruin all for their pleasures

Credit of this office hath received by this rogue's occasion

Dash the brains of it out before the King's face

Declared he will never have another public mistress again

Desk fastened to one of the armes of his chayre

Did take me up very prettily in one or two things that I said

Dinner, an ill and little mean one, with foul cloth and dishes

Disquiet all night, telling of the clock till it was daylight

Do outdo the Lords infinitely (debates in the Commons)

Dog, that would turn a sheep any way which

Dutch fleets being in so many places

Eat some of the best cheese-cakes that ever I eat in my life

Enough existed to build a ship (Pieces of the true Cross)

Enviously, said, I could not come honestly by them

Erasmus "de scribendis epistolis"

Every body leads, and nobody follows

Father, who to supper and betimes to bed at his country hours

Feared she hath from some [one] or other of a present

Fell a-crying for joy, being all maudlin and kissing one another

Fool's play with which all publick things are done

For I will not be inward with him that is open to another

For I will be hanged before I seek to him, unless I see I need

Found to be with child, do never stir out of their beds

Give the King of France Nova Scotia, which he do not like

Gold holds up its price still

Good purpose of fitting ourselves for another war (A Peace)

Had his hand cut off, and was hanged presently!

Had the umbles of it for dinner

Hates to have any body mention what he had done the day before

Hath given her the pox, but I hope it is not so

Have not any awe over them from the King's displeasure (Commons)

He was charged with making himself popular

He is not a man fit to be told what one hears

He will do no good, he being a man of an unsettled head

He is a man of no worth in the world but compliment

Heeling her on one side to make her draw little water

History of this day's growth, we cannot tell the truth

House of Lords is the last appeal that a man can make

How do the children?

Hugged, it being cold now in the mornings . . . .

Hunt up and down with its mouth if you touch the cheek

I would not enquire into anything, but let her talk

I am not a man able to go through trouble, as other men

I having now seen a play every day this week

I perceive no passion in a woman can be lasting long

I did get her hand to me under my cloak

I love the treason I hate the traitor

I find her painted, which makes me loathe her (cosmetics)

If the word Inquisition be but mentioned

Ill-bred woman, would take exceptions at anything any body said

Ill sign when we are once to come to study how to excuse

Just set down to dinner, and I dined with them, as I intended

King do resolve to declare the Duke of Monmouth legitimate

King is at the command of any woman like a slave

King the necessity of having, at least, a show of religion

King is offended with the Duke of Richmond's marrying

King of France did think other princes fit for nothing

King governed by his lust, and women, and rogues about him

King's service is undone, and those that trust him perish

Kingdom will fall back again to a commonwealth

Know yourself to be secure, in being necessary to the office

Lady Castlemayne's nose out of joynt

Lady Castlemayne is compounding with the King for a pension

Liberty of speech in the House

Little content most people have in the peace

Little worth of this world, to buy it with so much pain

Looks to lie down about two months hence

Make a man wonder at the good fortune of such a fool

Mazer or drinking-bowl turned out of some kind of wood

Mean, methinks, and is as if they had married like dog and bitch

Mirrors which makes the room seem both bigger and lighter

Mr. William Pen a Quaker again

Mrs. Stewart's sending the King his jewels again

Much difficulty to get pews, I offering the sexton money

Musique in the morning to call up our new-married people

Must yet pay to the Poll Bill for this pension (unreceived)

My wife will keep to one another and let the world go hang

My intention to learn to trill

My people do observe my minding my pleasure more than usual

My wife this night troubled at my leaving her alone so much

Necessary, and yet the peace is so bad in its terms

Never laughed so in all my life. I laughed till my head ached

Never was known to keep two mistresses in his life (Charles II.)

Never, while he lives, truckle under any body or any faction

Never to keep a country-house, but to keep a coach

New medall, where, in little, there is Mrs. Steward's face

Night the Dutch burned our ships the King did sup with Castlemayne

No man knowing what to do, whether to sell or buy

Nobody knows which side will be uppermost

Nobody being willing to trust us for anything

Nor offer anything, but just what is drawn out of a man

Not more than I expected, nor so much by a great deal as I ought

Not thinking them safe men to receive such a gratuity

Now above six months since (smoke from the cellars)

Officers are four years behind-hand unpaid

Only because she sees it is the fashion (She likes it)

Outdo for neatness and plenty anything done by any of them

Painful to keep money, as well as to get it

Pit, where the bears are baited

Poll Bill

Pressing in it as if none of us had like care with him

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

Reparation for what we had embezzled

Run over their beads with one hand, and point and play and talk

Said to die with the cleanest hands that ever any Lord Treasurer

Saying, that for money he might be got to our side

Says of wood, that it is an excrescence of the earth

Seems she hath had long melancholy upon her

Sermon ended, and the church broke up, and my amours ended also

Sermon upon Original Sin, neither understood by himself

Sermon without affectation or study

Shame such a rogue should give me and all of us this trouble

She has this silly vanity that she must play

Sick of it and of him for it

Silence; it being seldom any wrong to a man to say nothing

Singing with many voices is not singing

So every thing stands still for money

Some ends of my own in what advice I do give her

Sorry thing to be a poor King

Spares not to blame another to defend himself

Sparrowgrass

Speaks rarely, which pleases me mightily

Spends his time here most, playing at bowles

Sport to me to see him so earnest on so little occasion

Street ordered to be continued, forty feet broad, from Paul's

Supper and to bed without one word one to another

Suspect the badness of the peace we shall make

Swear they will not go to be killed and have no pay

Take pins out of her pocket to prick me if I should touch her

The pleasure of my not committing these things to my memory

The world do not grow old at all

The gates of the City shut, it being so late

Their condition was a little below my present state

Then home, and merry with my wife

They are all mad; and thus the kingdom is governed!

They want where to set their feet, to begin to do any thing

Think never to see this woman—at least, to have her here more

Though he knows, if he be not a fool, that I love him not

Through my wife's illness had a bad night of it, and she a worse

To my joy, I met not with any that have sped better than myself

Troubled to think what trouble a rogue may without cause give

Uncertainty of all history

Used to make coal fires, and wash my foul clothes

Very great tax; but yet I do think it is so perplexed

Voyage to Newcastle for coles

We find the two young ladies come home, and their patches off

Weary of it; but it will please the citizens

Weigh him after he had done playing

What way a man could devise to lose so much in so little time

What I said would not hold water

Whatever I do give to anybody else, I shall give her

Where a piece of the Cross is

Which he left him in the lurch

Whip this child till the blood come, if it were my child!

Who continues so ill as not to be troubled with business

Whom, in mirth to us, he calls Antichrist

Whose red nose makes me ashamed to be seen with him

Wise man's not being wise at all times

Wise men do prepare to remove abroad what they have

Wonders that she cannot be as good within as she is fair without

Wretch, n., often used as an expression of endearment

Yet let him remember the days of darkness

Young fellow, with his hat cocked like a fool behind

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JANUARY 1667/68 [sp70g10.txt]

And they did lay pigeons to his feet

As all other women, cry, and yet talk of other things

Carry them to a box, which did cost me 20s., besides oranges

Declared, if he come, she would not live with me

Fear that the goods and estate would be seized (after suicide)

Fears some will stand for the tolerating of Papists

Greater number of Counsellors is, the more confused the issue

He that will not stoop for a pin, will never be worth a pound

In my nature am mighty unready to answer no to anything

It may be, be able to pay for it, or have health

Lady Castlemayne do rule all at this time as much as ever

No man was ever known to lose the first time

She loves to be taken dressing herself, as I always find her

The devil being too cunning to discourage a gamester

The manner of the gaming

This kind of prophane, mad entertainment they give themselves

Turn out every man that will be drunk, they must turn out all

Where I expect most I find least satisfaction

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, FEBRUARY 1667/68 [sp71g10.txt]

Being very poor and mean as to the bearing with trouble

Bite at the stone, and not at the hand that flings it

Burned it, that it might not be among my books to my shame

Come to see them in bed together, on their wedding-night

Fear what would become of me if any real affliction should come

Force a man to swear against himself

L'escholle des filles, a lewd book

Live of L100 a year with more plenty, and wine and wenches

No pleasure—only the variety of it

Best fence against the Parliament's present fury is delay

But this the world believes, and so let them

Coach to W. Coventry about Mrs. Pett, 1s.

Ever have done his maister better service than to hang for him?

Making their own advantages to the disturbance of the peace

Parliament being vehement against the Nonconformists

Rough notes were made to serve for a sort of account book

Saw two battles of cocks, wherein is no great sport

Whip a boy at each place they stop at in their procession

Work that is not made the work of any one man

And will not kiss a woman since his wife's death

Beating of a poor little dog to death, letting it lie

City to be burned, and the Papists to cut our throats

Disorder in the pit by its raining in, from the cupola

Down to the Whey house and drank some and eat some curds

Eat some butter and radishes

Little company there, which made it very unpleasing

So time do alter, and do doubtless the like in myself

Whom I find in bed, and pretended a little not well

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, JUN/JUL 1668 [sp75g10.txt]

At work, till I was almost blind, which makes my heart sad

Bristol milk (the sherry) in the vaults

But get no ground there yet

Cannot be clean to go so many bodies together in the same water

City pay him great respect, and he the like to the meanest

Cost me L5, which troubles me, but yet do please me also

Espinette is the French term for a small harpsichord

Forced to change gold, 8s. 7d.; servants and poor, 1s. 6d.

Frequent trouble in things we deserve best in

How natural it is for us to slight people out of power

I could have answered, but forbore

Little pleasure now in a play, the company being but little

Made him admire my drawing a thing presently in shorthand

My wife hath something in her gizzard, that only waits

My wife's neglect of things, and impertinent humour

So out, and lost our way, which made me vexed

Suffered her humour to spend, till we begun to be very quiet

Troubled me, to see the confidence of the vice of the age

Up, finding our beds good, but lousy; which made us merry

Weather being very wet and hot to keep meat in.

When he was seriously ill he declared himself a Roman Catholic

Where a pedlar was in bed, and made him rise

Family governed so nobly and neatly as do me good to see it

Ridiculous nonsensical book set out by Will. Pen, for the Quaker

Shows how unfit I am for trouble

Their ladies in the box, being grown mighty kind of a sudden

Vexed me, but I made no matter of it, but vexed to myself

Dine with them, at my cozen Roger's mistress's

Dutchmen come out of the mouth and tail of a Hamburgh sow

Fain to keep a woman on purpose at 20s. a week

Find it a base copy of a good originall, that vexed me

Found in my head and body about twenty lice, little and great

I have itched mightily these 6 or 7 days

I know I have made myself an immortal enemy by it

Lady Castlemayne is now in a higher command over the King

Mighty fond in the stories she tells of her son Will

Observing my eyes to be mightily employed in the playhouse

Proud, carping, insolent, and ironically-prophane stile

She finds that I am lousy

Unquiet which her ripping up of old faults will give me

Up, and with W. Hewer, my guard, to White Hall

Weeping to myself for grief, which she discerning, come to bed

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, FEB/MAR 1668/69 [sp82g10.txt]

Broken sort of people, that have not much to lose

But so fearful I am of discontenting my wife

By her wedding-ring, I suppose he hath married her at last

Have not much to lose, and therefore will venture all

His satisfaction is nothing worth, it being easily got

Nor was there any pretty woman that I did see, but my wife

With egg to keep off the glaring of the light

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, APR/MAY 1668 [sp83g10.txt]

Drawing up a foul draught of my petition to the Duke of York

Drawing up a foul draught of my petition to the Duke of York

Dutchmen come out of the mouth and tail of a Hamburgh sow

Fain to keep a woman on purpose at 20s. a week

Find it a base copy of a good originall, that vexed me

Found in my head and body about twenty lice, little and great

Have not much to lose, and therefore will venture all

His satisfaction is nothing worth, it being easily got

I have itched mightily these 6 or 7 days

I know I have made myself an immortal enemy by it

DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, COMPLETE AND UNABRIDGED [sp85g10.txt]

20s. in money, and what wine she needed, for the burying him

A mad merry slut she is

A real and not a complimentary acknowledgment

A good handsome wench I kissed, the first that I have seen

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

A little while since a very likely man to live as any I knew

A lady spit backward upon me by a mistake

A gainful trade, but yet make me great trouble

A great baboon, but so much like a man in most things

A play not very good, though commended much

A very fine dinner

A cat will be a cat still

A book the Bishops will not let be printed again

A woman sober, and no high-flyer, as he calls it

A most tedious, unreasonable, and impertinent sermon

About two o'clock, too late and too soon to go home to bed

About several businesses, hoping to get money by them

About my new closet, for my mind is full of nothing but that

About the nature of sounds

Academy was dissolved by order of the Pope

Accounts I never did see, or hope again to see in my days

Act against Nonconformists and Papists

Act of Council passed, to put out all Papists in office

Advantage a man of the law hath over all other people

Afeard of being louzy

Afeard that my Lady Castlemaine will keep still with the King

Afraid now to bring in any accounts for journeys

After taking leave of my wife, which we could hardly do kindly

After awhile I caressed her and parted seeming friends

After many protestings by degrees I did arrive at what I would

After dinner my wife comes up to me and all friends again

After oysters, at first course, a hash of rabbits, a lamb

After some pleasant talk, my wife, Ashwell, and I to bed

After a harsh word or two my wife and I good friends

Again that she spoke but somewhat of what she had in her heart

Agreed at L3 a year (she would not serve under)

All ended in love

All the men were dead of the plague, and the ship cast ashore

All made much worse in their report among people than they are

All the fleas came to him and not to me

All divided that were bred so long at school together

All may see how slippery places all courtiers stand in

All things to be managed with faction

All the innocent pleasure in the world

All the towne almost going out of towne (Plague panic)

Ambassador—that he is an honest man sent to lie abroad

Amending of bad blood by borrowing from a better body

Among all the beauties there, my wife was thought the greatest

Among many lazy people that the diligent man becomes necessary

An exceeding pretty lass, and right for the sport

An offer of L500 for a Baronet's dignity

And for his beef, says he, "Look how fat it is"

And the woman so silly, as to let her go that took it

And if ever I fall on it again, I deserve to be undone

And will not kiss a woman since his wife's death

And a deal of do of which I am weary

And they did lay pigeons to his feet

And there, did what I would with her

And so to sleep till the morning, but was bit cruelly

And so to bed and there entertained her with great content

And all to dinner and sat down to the King saving myself

And feeling for a chamber-pott, there was none

And with the great men in curing of their claps

And so to bed, my father lying with me in Ashwell's bed

And in all this not so much as one

And so by coach, though hard to get it, being rainy, home

Angling with a minikin, a gut-string varnished over

Angry, and so continued till bed, and did not sleep friends

Anthem anything but instrumentall musique with the voice

Apprehend about one hundred Quakers

Apprehension of the King of France's invading us

Aptness I have to be troubled at any thing that crosses me

Archbishop is a wencher, and known to be so

As much his friend as his interest will let him

As very a gossip speaking of her neighbours as any body

As all other women, cry, and yet talk of other things

As he called it, the King's seventeenth whore abroad

As all things else did not come up to my expectations

Ashamed at myself for this losse of time

Asleep, while the wench sat mending my breeches by my bedside

At work, till I was almost blind, which makes my heart sad

At least 12 or 14,000 people in the street (to see the hanging)

At a loss whether it will be better for me to have him die

Where a trade hath once been and do decay, it never recovers

Where I expect most I find least satisfaction

Wherein every party has laboured to cheat another

Wherewith to give every body something for their pains

Whether she suspected anything or no I know not

Whether he would have me go to law or arbitracon with him

Which may teach me how I make others wait

Which he left him in the lurch

Which I did give him some hope of, though I never intend it

Whip this child till the blood come, if it were my child!

Whip a boy at each place they stop at in their procession

Who continues so ill as not to be troubled with business

Who is the most, and promises the least, of any man

Who we found ill still, but he do make very much of it

Who must except against every thing and remedy nothing

Who seems so inquisitive when my, house will be made an end of

Who is over head and eares in getting her house up

Whom, in mirth to us, he calls Antichrist

Whom I find in bed, and pretended a little not well

Whose red nose makes me ashamed to be seen with him

Whose voice I am not to be reconciled

Wife that brings me nothing almost (besides a comely person)

Wife and the dancing-master alone above, not dancing but talking

Will upon occasion serve for a fine withdrawing room

Will put Madam Castlemaine's nose out of joynt

Willing to receive a bribe if it were offered me

Wine, new and old, with labells pasted upon each bottle

Wise man's not being wise at all times

Wise men do prepare to remove abroad what they have

With much ado in an hour getting a coach home

With hangings not fit to be seen with mine

With egg to keep off the glaring of the light

With my whip did whip him till I was not able to stir

With a shower of hail as big as walnuts

Without importunity or the contrary

Woman that they have a fancy to, to make her husband a cuckold

Woman with a rod in her hand keeping time to the musique

Wonders that she cannot be as good within as she is fair without

Work that is not made the work of any one man

World sees now the use of them for shelter of men (fore-castles)

Would make a dogg laugh

Would either conform, or be more wise, and not be catched!

Would not make my coming troublesome to any

Wretch, n., often used as an expression of endearment

Wronged by my over great expectations

Ye pulling down of houses, in ye way of ye fire

Yet let him remember the days of darkness

Yet it was her fault not to see that I did take them

Young man play the foole upon the doctrine of purgatory

Young fellow, with his hat cocked like a fool behind

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
