Ben Jonson - The Devil's Association
306-7:
nullum esse opinor ego agrum in agro Attico
aeque feracem quam hic est noster Periphanes.
=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,
that be within the Wals of _London_, or elsewhere in England. ' 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. '
