As source of the latter Dr. L. H. Holt (_Mod. Lang. Notes_,
June, 1905) gives Plautus, _Epidicus_ 2. 3. 306-7:

=3. 5. 2 the row. = Stow (_Survey_, ed. 1633, p. 391) says that
Goldsmith's Row, 'betwixt _Breadstreete_ end and the Crosse in
_Cheap_,' is 'the most beautifull Frame of faire houses and shops,

' It
contained 'ten faire dwelling houses, and fourteene shops' beautified
with elaborate ornamentation. Howes (ed. 1631, p. 1045) says that
at his time (1630) Goldsmith's Row 'was much abated of her wonted
store of Goldsmiths, which was the beauty of that famous streete. '
A similar complaint is made in the _Calendar of State Papers_,
1619-23, p. 457, where Goldsmith's Row is characterized as the 'glory
and beauty of Cheapside. ' Paul Hentzner (p. 45) speaks of it as
surpassing all the other London streets. He mentions the presence
there of a 'gilt tower, with a fountain that plays. '

=With the French-time, in flexure of your body. = This may mean
bowing in the deliberate and measured fashion of the French, or
perhaps it refers to French musical measure. See Gloss.
