From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)
... then alone to the King's House and there saw /The Custome of the Country/, the second time of its being acted, wherein Knipp does the Widow well; but of all the plays that ever I did see, the worst, having neither plot, language, nor anything in the earth that is acceptable. -- Pepys' Diary, 2 Jan. 1667
