"Richard, the dear son to Lothar king of Kent, When he his happy days religiously had spent; And feeling the approach of his declining age, Desirous to see Rome in holy pilgrimage; Into thy country come, at Lucca left his life, Whose miracles there done, yet to this day are rife."
"So countries more remote with ours we aid acquaint, As Richard for the fame his holiness had won, And for the wondrous things that through his prayers were done; From this his native home into Calabria call'd, And of St Andrew's there the bishop was installed; For whom she hath profess'd much reverence to this land."
"So other southern sees, here either less or more. Have likewise had their saints-- --we have of Chichester Saint Richard, and with him St Gilbert, which do stand Inroll'd amongst the rest of this our mitred band."
358. Saint Roke, or Roch, was born at Montpelier, in France; and died in prison at Angleria, in the province of Lombardy, where a large church was built in honour of him. See "Legenda Aurea," p. 238.

360. _Obtaye_, 1st edit. 361. _Assuredly_, 2d edit.
363. _Pardoner_. "Pardoners were certaine fellowes that caried about the Pope's Indulgences, and sold them to such as would buy them; against whom Luther, by Sleydans report, incensed the people of Germany in his time, exhorting them _ne merces tam viles tanti emerent_" (Cowell's "Interpreter," 1607, Sign. A A A 2).
372 _Running_, 1st edit.--_Dodsley_. This is a mistake, the first edition reading _ronnying_, which is the old spelling of _running_. Another error was committed in printing it hitherto "running to Rome," the correct reading being "ronnying at Rome."--_Collier_.
378. _Ye_, 1st edit. 379. _Ye_, 1st edit.
384. _Cheap_, as Dr Johnson observes, is _market, and good cheap_ therefore is _bon marchè_. 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.
