*p1661 09 07 vere Bartholomew Fair.*c1661 09 07 vere The <i>King's Company</i>. <i>Pepys, Diary</i>: My wife and I...to the Theatre, where we seated ourselves close by $the King=, and $Duke of York=, and $Madame Palmer=, which was great content; and, indeed, I can never enough admire her beauty. And here was <i>Bartholomew Fayre</i>, with the puppet-show, acted to-day, which had not been these forty years (it being so satyricall against Puritanism, they durst not till now, which is strange they should already dare to do it, and the King to countenance it), but I do never a whit like it the better for the puppets, but rather the worse.
