| + | 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. | ||
