 ==== 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.''
