Of Ships and Bottles
A bottle in a ship in a boat: what arms and flags? Silk clothes, a rich noise of fiddlers. What will be the entertainment? Jurates of the town and the vice-admiral. Where to drink? In the lost ship, in bed in my cabin, where I gave the bottle a merry good night.
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Monday 7 May 1660.
