Synopsis
Excerpt from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, 1666
Yet he will enjoy himself. He is thirty-three, and will gather rose-buds while he may; not wait to enjoy life when his powers of enjoyment are decayed. He counts his gains from time to time is worth on the 4th of March; this has become by the end of April; and is on the 3rd of July. He is profiting by opportunities of war-time, but what is that to the robbery everywhere about him in the public service; beginning with the king, though Pepys does not hint at that. Only he works a little sum, counts up the money paid by the country for the war, and money spent upon the war, then asks what has become of the balance, His Diary, however, helps us to understand what had become, of it.
