- After he wrote the play, "The Gentleman Master", (1672), it was panned by critics, so in the prologue to his most famous play, "The Country Wife", (1676), he offered the actors, mistresses and matrons to the critics in case this was equally badly received. His last play was, "The Plain Dealer", (1676).
He was buried, possibly in Covent Garden, London on January 8 1716. He was a member of King Charles II's court and married in ill health, less than a month before his death.
