Saturday 2 March 1661

Early with Mr. Moore about Sir Paul Neale's business with my uncle and other things all the morning.  Dined with him at Mr. Crew's, and after dinner I went to the Theatre, where I found so few people (which is strange, and the reason I did not know) that I went out again, and so to Salsbury Court, where the house as full as could be; and it seems it was a new play, "The Queen's Maske," wherein there are some good humours: among others, a good jeer to the old story of the Siege of Troy, making it to be a common country tale.  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.  Then home and to bed.
