I like it vastly and the musick is excessive pretty, and tho it is a burlesque on the operas yet $Mr Handel= owns he thinks the tunes very well composed....and it has been acted 36 times already and they are always pretty full. The poor operas I doubt go on but badly, for tho every body praises both $Cafferielli= and the opera yet it has never been full, and if it is not now at first it will be very empty towards the latter end of the winter.--<i>Wentworth Papers</i>, p. 539.
