Quote 243 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

At noon home, and Goodgroome dined with us---who teaches my wife to
sing.  After dinner I did give him my song, /Beauty Retire/, which he
hath often desired of me; and without flattery, I think is a very good
song.
		-- Pepys' Diary, 5 Dec. 1666
