Literature | Commendation Ninepence A bent silver ninepence, supposed to be lucky, and commonly used in the seventeenth century as a love-token, the giver or sender using these words, "From my love, to my love." Sometimes the coin was broken, and each kept a part. "Like commendation ninepence, crooked, With `To and from my love,' it looked." Butler: Hudibras, i. 1. "Filbert: As this divides, thus are we torn in twain. Kitty: And as this meets, thus may we meet again." Gay: What d'ye Call It?. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
