The Best Of A Bad Bargain.

But Lord! To See The Absurd Nature Of Englishmen That Cannot Forbear Laughing And Jeering At Everything That Looks Strange.

My Wife, Who, Poor Wretch, Is Troubled With Her Lonely Life.

However, Music And Women I Cannot But Give Way To, Whatever My Business Is.

I Went Home And Took My Wife And Went To My Cosen Tho. Pepys's And Found Them Just Sat Down To Dinner, Which Was Very Good; Only The Venison Pasty Was Palpable Beef, Which Was Not Handsome.

I Do Still See That My Nature Is Not To Be Quite Conquered, But Will Esteem Pleasure Above All Things, Though Yet In The Middle Of It, It Has Reluctances After My Business, Which Is Neglected By My Following My Pleasure. However Musique And Women I Cannot But Give Way To, Whatever My Business Is.
