Church supper

(Lord’s day). Church in the morning: dined at home, then to Church again and heard Mr. Naylor, whom I knew formerly of Keyes College, make a most eloquent sermon. Thence to Sir W. Batten’s to see how he did, then to walk an hour with Sir W. Pen in the garden: then he in to supper with me at my house, and so to prayers and to bed.

urchin at church
new eyes eloquent
with the supper prayer


Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Sunday 9 March 1661/62.
