+ | ==== In Samuel Pepys diary ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In one sentence in the entry for August 29, 1668 (England was until 1752 on the | ||
+ | Julian calendar), we get mention (with perhaps corrupted spelling) | ||
+ | of no less than three dance titles. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''So I out, and met my wife in a coach, | ||
+ | and stopped her going thither to meet me; and took her, and Mercer, | ||
+ | and Deb., to Bartholomew Fair, and there did see a ridiculous, obscene | ||
+ | little stage-play, called “Marry Andrey;” a foolish thing, but seen by | ||
+ | every body; and so to Jacob Hall’s dancing of the ropes; a thing worth | ||
+ | seeing, and mightily followed, and so home and to the office, and then | ||
+ | to bed.'' |
