Note 461 — ACT I. SCENE I.
Reading edition
frippery] This word has been rightly explained by Gifford and others as—a place where old clothes are exposed for sale: but here the profession of frippery seems to be meant; compare Chapman;
"D’Ol. Now your profession, I pray?
Frip. Fripperie, my lord, or as some tearme it, Petty Brokery."
Monsieur D’Olive, 1606, sig E 4.
