047. THE BALD KNIGHT. A certain knight, growing old, his hair fell off, and he became bald; to hide which imperfection, he wore a periwig: but as he was riding out with some others a hunting, a sudden gust of wind blew off the periwig, and exposed his bald pate.
The company could not forbear laughing at the accident; and he himself laughed as loud as anybody, saying, “How was it to be expected that I should keep strange hair upon my head, when my own would not stay there?” [more info]
