The expression originally described a person who had been wealthy, but had fallen on hard times. The line is first recorded in the play Sir Thomas More, which is a play written by several playwrights, including Shakespeare:
"Hauing seene better dayes, now know the lack Of glorie that once rearde eche high-fed back."
Shakespeare later used it in several plays, for example, Timon of Athens, 1607:
"As 'twere a knell unto our master's fortunes,
'We have seen better days.' Let each take some;"
