Pepys, Samuel, 1633-1703

"The Diary of Samuel Pepys"

But it is done like a most worthy
man; and he says it is good now and then to tell these gentlemen
their duty, for they need it. And it seems, as he tells me, all
our Knights are fallen out one with another, he and Jenings and
Hollis, and (his words were) they are disputing which is the
coward among them; and yet men that take the greatest liberty of
censuring others! Here with him very late, till I could hardly
get a coach or link willing to go through the ruines; but I do,
but will not do it again, being indeed very dangerous.
10th. Sir John Denham's Poems are going to be all printed
together; and, among others, some new things; and among them he
showed me a copy of verses of his upon Sir John Minnes's going
heretofore to Bullogne to eat a pig. Cowly, he tells me, is
dead; who, it seems, was a mighty civil, serious man; which I did
not know before.
11th. To the Wells at Barnett, by seven o'clock; and there found
many people a-drinking; but the morning is a very cold morning,
so as we were very cold all the way in the coach.
