From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)
And he [Sir W. Warren] should take notice of the two flagons he saw at my house at dinner at my late feast, and merrily (yet I know enviously) said I could not come honestly by them. This I am glad to hear, though vexed to see his ignoble soul. But I shall beware of him; and yet it is fit he should see I am no mean fellow but can live in the world and have something. -- Pepys' Diary, 11 Jan. 1667
