384. _Cheap_, as Dr Johnson observes, is _market, and good cheap_ therefore is _bon marche_. The expression is very frequent in ancient writers, as in Churchyard's "Worthiness of Wales," Evans's edition, 1776, p. 3--
"Victuals _good cheap_ in most part of Wales."
Lyly's "Euphues," 1579, p. 8, "Seeing thou wilt not buy counsel at the first hande _good cheape_, thou shalt buye repentaunce at second-hande at such an vnreasonable rate that thou wilt cursse thy hard penyworth, and ban thy harde heart." Decker's "Lanthorne and Candlelight," H 4, "He buyes other men's cunning _good cheap_ in London, and sels it deare in the countrey." See other instances in Mr Steevens's note on "First Part of King Henry IV.," A. 3, S. 3.

Again, in "Twelfth Night"--
"A _cyprus_, not a bosom Hides my poor heart."--_S_.
409. i.e., Rollers in which infants were _swathed_. So, in "Timon of Athens"--
"Had thou, like us, from thy first _swath_," &c.--_S_.
410 _Uprising_, edit. 1569.
411. _Frontal_, Fr., a _frontlet_, or _forehead band_.--_Cotgrave_. A _frontlet_ is mentioned as part of a woman's dress in Lyly's "Midas,"
1592: "Hoods, _frontlets_, wires, cauls, curling-irons, periwigs, bodkins, fillets, hair laces, ribbons, rolls, knotstrings, glasses," &c.
