From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

So home, having called upon Doll, our pretty Change woman, for a
pair of gloves trimmed with yellow ribbon (to [the] petticoat she
bought yesterday), which coss me 20s.  But she is so pretty, that,
God forgive me, I could not think it too much; which is a strange
slavery that I stand in to beauty, that I value nothing near it.
