Gifts
I took my wife a friar’s coat, a most fine cloth and a rich lace, troubled money and a kind mouth, a ship and a captain coming from sea— the loveliest that ever I saw— to look after her little bitch, which was just a-whelping.
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Saturday 18 August 1660.
