Samuel Pepys, 29 September 1662, Everybody's Pepys: The Diary of Samuel Pepys 1660-69, 1972

To the King's Theatre, where we saw 'Midsummer Night's Dream', which I had never seen before, nor shall ever again, for it is the most insipid ridiculous play that ever I saw in my life. I saw, I confess, some good dancing and some handsome women, which was all my pleasure.
