From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

But my wife and I rise from table pretending business, and went to
the Dukes house, the first play I have been at these six months,
according to my last vowe; and here saw the so much cried-up play of
_Henry the 8th_---which, though I went with resolution to like it,
is so simple a thing, made up of a great many patches, that, besides
the shows and processions in it, there is nothing in the world good
or well done.
