From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

To the King's playhouse, and by and by omes Mr. Lowder and his wife
and mine and into a box forsooth, neither of them being dressed, which
I was almost ashamed of---Sir W. Penn and I in the pit; and here saw
/The Mayden Queene/ again; which endeed, the more I see the more I
like; and is an excellent play, and so done by Nell her merry part, as
cannot be better done in Nature I think.
