By Samuel Pepys
20s. in money, and what wine she
needed, for the burying him
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 pretty man, I would be content to
break a commandment with him
A lady spit backward upon me by a
mistake
A play not very good, though commended
much
A cat will be a cat still
A book the Bishops will not let be
printed again
A most tedious, unreasonable, and
impertinent sermon
About two o'clock, too late and too
soon to go home to bed
Academy was dissolved by order of the
Pope
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
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 oysters, at first course, a hash
of rabbits, a lamb
After a harsh word or two my wife and I
good friends
All ended in love
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 towne almost going out of towne
(Plague panic)
Ambassador--that he is an honest man
sent to lie abroad
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 if ever I fall on it again, I
deserve to be undone
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 feeling for a chamber-pott, there
was none
And with the great men in curing of
their claps
And so by coach, though hard to get it,
being rainy, home
Angry, and so continued till bed, and
did not sleep friends
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
Asleep, while the wench sat mending my
breeches by my bedside
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

something, while we do not
Being cleansed of lice this day by my
wife
Being very poor and mean as to the
bearing with trouble

Testament

people say and do

She is conceited that she do well
already
She used the word devil, which vexed me
She was so ill as to be shaved and
pidgeons put to her feet
She begins not at all to take pleasure
in me or study to please
She is a very good companion as long as
she is well
She also washed my feet in a bath of
herbs, and so to bed
She had got and used some puppy-dog
water
She hath got her teeth new done by La
Roche
She loves to be taken dressing herself,

Smoke jack consists of a wind-wheel
fixed in the chimney
So home to supper, and to bed, it being
my wedding night
So great a trouble is fear
So to bed, to be up betimes by the
helpe of a larum watch
So much is it against my nature to owe
anything to any body
So home, and after supper did wash my
feet, and so to bed
So home to prayers and to bed
So I took occasion to go up and to bed
in a pet
So to bed in some little discontent,
but no words from me
So home and to supper with beans and
bacon and to bed
So we went to bed and lay all night in
a quarrel
So much wine, that I was even almost
foxed
So good a nature that he cannot deny
any thing
So time do alter, and do doubtless the
like in myself
So home and to bed, where my wife had
not lain a great while
So out, and lost our way, which made me
vexed
So every thing stands still for money
Softly up to see whether any of the
beds were out of order or no
Some merry talk with a plain bold maid
of the house
Some ends of my own in what advice I do
give her
Sorry in some respect, glad in my
expectations in another respect
Sorry for doing it now, because of
obliging me to do the like
Sorry thing to be a poor King
Spares not to blame another to defend
himself

bowles
Sport to me to see him so earnest on so
little occasion
Staid two hours with her kissing her,
but nothing more
Statute against selling of offices
Staying out late, and painting in the
absence of her husband
Strange things he has been found guilty
of, not fit to name
Strange the folly of men to lay and
lose so much money
Strange how civil and tractable he was
to me
Street ordered to be continued, forty
feet broad, from Paul's
Subject to be put into a disarray upon
very small occasions
Such open flattery is beastly
Suffered her humour to spend, till we
begun to be very quiet
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
Talk very highly of liberty of
conscience
Taught my wife some part of subtraction
Tax the same man in three or four
several capacities
Tear all that I found either boyish or
not to be worth keeping
Tell me that I speak in my dreams
That I might not seem to be afeared
That I may have nothing by me but what
is worth keeping
That I may look as a man minding
business
The unlawfull use of lawfull things
The devil being too cunning to
discourage a gamester
The most ingenious men may sometimes be
mistaken
"The Alchymist,"--[Comedy by Ben Jonson]
The barber came to trim me and wash me
The present Irish pronunciation of
English
The world do not grow old at all
The ceremonies did not please me, they
do so overdo them
The rest did give more, and did believe
that I did so too
Thence by coach, with a mad coachman,
that drove like mad
Thence to Mrs. Martin's, and did what I
would with her
There is no passing but by coach in the
streets, and hardly that
There eat and drank, and had my
pleasure of her twice
There did 'tout ce que je voudrais
avec' her
There setting a poor man to keep my
place
There is no man almost in the City
cares a turd for him
There being ten hanged, drawn, and
quartered
These young Lords are not fit to do any
service abroad
These Lords are hard to be trusted
They were so false spelt that I was
ashamed of them
They want where to set their feet, to
begin to do any thing
This day churched, her month of
childbed being out
This absence makes us a little strange
instead of more fond
This week made a vow to myself to drink
no wine this week
This day I began to put on buckles to
my shoes
This unhappinesse of ours do give them
heart
This kind of prophane, mad
entertainment they give themselves
Those absent from prayers were to pay a
forfeit
Those bred in the North among the
colliers are good for labour
Though he knows, if he be not a fool,
that I love him not
Thus it was my chance to see the King
beheaded at White Hall
Tied our men back to back, and thrown
them all into the sea
To Mr. Holliard's in the morning,
thinking to be let blood
To be enjoyed while we are young and
capable of these joys
To see Major-general Harrison hanged,
drawn; and quartered
To the Swan and drank our morning draft
To see the bride put to bed
Too much of it will make her know her
force too much
Took physique, and it did work very
well
Tory--The term was not used politically
until about 1679
Tried the effect of my silence and not
provoking her
Trouble, and more money, to every
Watch, to them to drink
Troubled me, to see the confidence of
the vice of the age
Trumpets were brought under the
scaffold that he not be heard
Turn out every man that will be drunk,
they must turn out all
Two shops in three, if not more,
generally shut up
Uncertainty of all history
Uncertainty of beauty
Unless my too-much addiction to
pleasure undo me
Unquiet which her ripping up of old
faults will give me
Up, leaving my wife in bed, being sick
of her months
Up, finding our beds good, but lousy;
which made us merry
Up and took physique, but such as to go
abroad with
Upon a very small occasion had a
difference again broke out
Venison-pasty that we have for supper
to-night to the cook's
Very angry we were, but quickly friends
again
Very great tax; but yet I do think it
is so perplexed
Vexed at my wife's neglect in leaving
of her scarf
Vexed me, but I made no matter of it,
but vexed to myself
Vices of the Court, and how the pox is
so common there
Voyage to Newcastle for coles
Waked this morning between four and
five by my blackbird
Was kissing my wife, which I did not
like
We are to go to law never to revenge,
but only to repayre
We had a good surloyne of rost beefe
Weary of it; but it will please the
citizens
Weather being very wet and hot to keep
meat in.
What way a man could devise to lose so
much in so little time
What I said would not hold water
What I had writ foule in short hand
What they all, through profit or fear,
did promise
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 money is free, there is great
plenty
Where I find the worst very good
Where a piece of the Cross is
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
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 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
Whose red nose makes me ashamed to be
seen with him
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 a shower of hail as big as walnuts
Wonders that she cannot be as good
within as she is fair without
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

1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic

"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or

property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm 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, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread 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 https://pglaf.org
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 including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain 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 Web site which has the main PG search facility:
https://www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
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.
