Pen= to go see The Tempest, an old play of $Shakespeare='s, acted, I hear, the first day; and so my wife, and girl, and $W. Hewer= by themselves, and Sir W. Pen and I afterwards by ourselves; and forced to sit in the side balcone over against the musique-room at the Duke's house, close by my $Lady Dorset= and a great many great ones. The house mighty full; $the King= and $Court= there: and the most innocent play that ever I saw; and a curious piece of musique in an echo of half sentences, the echo repeating the former half, while the man goes on the latter, which is mighty pretty. The play [has] no great wit, but yet good, above ordinary plays. Thence home with Sir W. Pen, and there all mightily pleased with the play.
