02 March 1661 @ Salisbury Court

Event Comment: The Duke's Company.

But above all it was strange to see so little a boy as that was to act Cupid, which is one of the greatest parts in it

But above my expectation most, the eldest Marshall did do her part most excellently well as I ever heard woman in my life; but her voice not so sweet so Ianthe's [Mrs Betterton's]; but, however, we came home mightily contented
