To the Play-house, and there saw "The Changeling,"
["The Changeling," a Tragedy, by Thomas Middleton. The plot is
taken from a story in "God's Revenge against Murder."] the first
time it hath been acted these twenty years, and it takes
exceedingly. Besides, I see the gallants do begin to be tyred
with the vanity and pride of the theatre actors, who are indeed
grown very proud and rich. I also met with the Comptroller, who
told me how it was easy for us all, the principal officers, and
proper for us, to labour to get into the next Parliament; and
would have me to ask the Duke's letter, but I shall not endeavour
it. This Is now 28 years that I am born. And blessed be God, in
a state of full content, and a great hope to be a happy man in
all respects, both to myself and friends.
27th. I called for a dish of fish, which we had for dinner, this
being the first day of Lent; and I do intend to try whether I can
keep it or no.
28th. Notwithstanding my resolution, yea for want of other
victualls, I did eat flesh this Lent, but am resolved to eat as
little as I can.
