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
