A Gentleman that used to be smart in his re∣parties, once had in his hat a very gallant and rich knot, or favour of gold and silver ribbon; which some young ladies had a mind to, if they could get it handsomly without begging of it; and so one of them said to him: Sir, you have a very fine favour in
your hat; and so they said all. Pray Madam, says he to the first, tell me truly do you like it: Yes indeed Sir, says she. Why then, says he, if you had not lik'd it I would have flung it into the fire, but since you say you do like it; I protest I like it the better, and am resolved to keep it for your sakes.
