Samuel Pepys in London - 7 May, 1668
from Diary of Samuel Pepys, 7 May 1668 , page 906:
Here took up Knepp into our coach and all of us with her to her lodging, and thither comes Bannester with a song of hers that he hath set in Sir Ch. Sidly's play for her, which is I think but very meanly set; but this he did before us, teach her; and it being but a slight, silly, short ayre, she learnt it presently. But I did here get him to prick me down the notes of the Echo in The Tempest, which pleases me mightily.
