 +==== 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.'' ​
 +
 +Jacob Hall [2] was a 17th century tight-rope dancer and acrobat whose agile performances delighted diarist Samuel Pepys and others of the era. He was a some-time lover of the mistress of Charles II, Lady Castlemain, the Duchess of Cleveland, who took revenge on the king for neglecting her.
