Pepys, Samuel, 1633-1703

"Quotations from Diary of Samuel Pepys"

7d.; servants and poor, 1s. 6d.
Foretelling the draught of water of a ship before she be launche
Forgetting many things, which her master beat her for
Formerly say that the King was a bastard and his mother a whore
Found my brother John at eight o'clock in bed, which vexed me
Found him a fool, as he ever was, or worse
Found him not so ill as I thought that he had been ill
Found in my head and body about twenty lice, little and great
Found to be with child, do never stir out of their beds
Found guilty, and likely will be hanged (for stealing spoons)
France, which is accounted the best place for bread
French have taken two and sunk one of our merchant-men
Frequent trouble in things we deserve best in
Frogs and many insects do often fall from the sky, ready formed
From some fault in the meat to complain of my maid's sluttery
Gadding abroad to look after beauties
Galileo's air thermometer, made before 1597
Gamester's life, which I see is very miserable, and poor
Gave him his morning draft
Generally with corruption, but most indeed with neglect
Gentlewomen did hold up their heads to be kissed by the King
Get his lady to trust herself with him into the tavern
Give the King of France Nova Scotia, which he do not like
Give her a Lobster and do so touse her and feel her all over
Give the other notice of the future state, if there was any
Glad to be at friendship with me, though we hate one another
Gladder to have just now received it (than a promise)
God knows that I do not find honesty enough in my own mind
God forgive me! what thoughts and wishes I had
God help him, he wants bread.
