Transcription:
Cross my Hand, worthy Si, and I’ll freely relate
What for you is inscrib’d in the Records of fate;
Whatever of magical skill you can fancy,
Of Palmistry Lines, or expert Chriomancy
I know and am skill’d in Egyptian Astronomy
But an Adept am chiefly in grave Physiognomy:
I know by the Turn of your Nose and your Chin
At Cards you must lose, and in Battle must win
By [the] lines of your Brown, and the form of your Eyes
One may venture to fancy you Valiant and wise.
What more of your Fate would you wish me to [prive]?
Would you know if your Lot is successful in Love?
A Hint shall suffice and since [myst’ry] my Trade is
That Lot you must read in the Eyes of the Ladies.
