Pepys’ Diary.
April 12th, 1669 Walked to White Hall, and by and by to my wife at Unthanke's, and with her was Jane, and so to the Cocke, where they and I and Tom dined, my wife having a great desire to eat of their soup made of pease, and dined very well; and thence by water to the Bear-Garden. Here we saw a prize fought between a soldier and a country fellow, one Warrell. who promised the least in his looks, and performed the most of valour in his boldness and evenness of mind and smiles in all he did that ever I saw; and we were all both deceived and infinitely taken with him. He did soundly beat the soldier, and cut him over the head.
