Excerpt from Diary and Correspondence of Samuel Pepys, F. R. S, Vol. 2 of 4: The Diary Deciphered by Rev. J. Smith, A. M. From the Original Shorthand Ms. June ist. The Duke having been a hunting to-day, and so lately come home and gone to bed, we could not see him, and we walked away. And I with Sir J. Minnes to the Strand May-pole 1 and there light out of his coach, and walked to the New Theatre,2 which, since the King's players are gone to the Royal one, is this day begun to be employed by the fencers to play prizes at. And here I come and saw the first prize I ever saw in my life: and it was between one Mathews, who did beat at all weapons, and one Westwicke, who was soundly out several times both in the head and legs, that he was all over blood: and other deadly blows they did give and take in very good earnest, till Westwicke was in a sad pickle. They fought at eight weapons, three boutes at each weapon. This being upon a private quarrel, they did it in good earnest; and I felt one of their swords, and found it to be very little, if at all. Blunter on the edge than the common swords are. Strange to see what a deal of money isfiung to them both upon the stage between every boute.'3 §0, well 'p'leased for once with this sight, I walked home. This day I hear at Court of the great plot which was lately discovered in Ireland, made among the Presbyters and others, designing to cry up the Covenant.
