Daily Dose

From The Life of the Rev. George Crabbe, LL. B., by His Son, The Rev. George Crabbe, A. M.

DIARY

"9th. -- Agree to dine with Mr. Phillips. A day of indisposition unlike the former. Dine at George's Coffee-house, and in a stupid humor. Go to play not very enlivening; yet the 'Magpie and Maid' was, in some parts, affecting, till you reflected."

From Chapter IX, 1814 - 1819, from the poet's journal
