Father to the man
paper ready to be a little boat regular and finely contrived
money dead as the house I intend to dwell in
making bricks and other poor music
and the books like citizens old and upright
to a boy things appear greater than to a man
now I account it good fortune to follow a dog
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Saturday 25 July 1663.
