Quote 170 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

And after supper to talk and to sing, his man Dutton's wife singing
very prettily (a mighty fat woman), and I wrote out one song from
her and pricked the Tune, being very pretty.  But I did never hear
one sing with so much pleasure to herself as this lady doth,
relishing it to her very heart---which was mighty pleasant.
