So home, and to dinner alone with my wife, who, poor wretch! sat undressed all day, till ten at night, altering and lacing of a noble petticoat: while I by her, making the boy read to me the Life of Julius Caesar, and Des Cartes' book of Musick By Rene Des Cartes, Amsterdam, 1617; rendered into English, London, 1653, 4to.
