Quote
I drank so much wine that I was not fit for business, and
therefore at noon I went and walked in Westminster Hall a
while, and thence to Salisbury Court play house, where was
acted the first time "'Tis  Pity Shee's a Whore," a simple
play and ill acted, only it was my fortune to sit by a most
pretty and most ingenious lady, which pleased me much.
