     Lust and wicked lives of the nuns heretofore in England
     Only wind do now and then torment me . . . extremely
     See her look dejectedly and slighted by people already
     She also washed my feet in a bath of herbs, and so to bed
     Sir W. Pen did it like a base raskall, and so I shall remember
     Slight answer, at which I did give him two boxes on the ears
     They were not occupiers, but occupied (women)
     Trumpets were brought under the scaffold that he not be heard
     Up and took physique, but such as to go abroad with
     Will put Madam Castlemaine’s nose out of joynt
     With my whip did whip him till I was not able to stir

Diary of Samuel Pepys. 
July & August
1662

July 1st.  To the office, and there we sat till past noon, and then Captain Cuttance and I by water to Deptford, where the Royal James (in which my Lord went out the last voyage, though [he] came back in the Charles) was paying off by Sir W. Batten and Sir W. Pen.  So to dinner, where I had Mr. Sheply to dine with us, and from thence I sent to my Lord to know whether she should be a first rate, as the men would have her, or a second.  He answered that we should forbear paying the officers and such whose pay differed upon the rate of the ship, till he could speak with his Royal Highness.  To the Pay again after dinner, and seeing of Cooper, the mate of the ship, whom I knew in the Charles, I spoke to him about teaching the mathematiques, and do please myself in my thoughts of learning of him, and bade him come to me in a day or two.  Towards evening I left them, and to Redriffe by land, Mr. Cowly, the Clerk of the Cheque, with me, discoursing concerning the abuses of the yard, in which he did give me much light.  So by water home, and after half an hour sitting talking with my wife, who was afeard I did intend to go with my Lord to fetch the Queen mother over, in which I did clear her doubts, I went to bed by daylight, in order to my rising early to-morrow.
