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 |
