All the morning at Portsmouth, at the Pay, and then to dinner, and again to the Pay; and at night got the Doctor to go lie with me, and much pleased with his company; but I was much troubled in my eyes, by reason of the healths I have this day been forced to drink.
The morning a mouth
and night the doctor
to lie with me,
ease my eyes,
heal this day.
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 25 April 1662.
