Collector

This morning sending a packet by Mr. Dunne to London. In the afternoon I played at ninepins with Mr. Pickering, I and Mr. Pett against him and Ted Osgood, and won a crown apiece of him. He had not money enough to pay me. After supper my Lord exceeding merry, and he and I and W. Howe to sing, and so to bed.

morning in a net
I played a pin

a crow had no one
enough to sing


Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Saturday 28 April 1660.
