THE GOLDEN FORTUNE-TELLER an injury. He whose hair is of a brownish , and curled a little, is a well-disposed man, a lover of peace.

Forehead.—The forehead that riseth in a round, a man liberally minded, of a good understanding, and generally inclined to virtue. HoHe [sic] forehead is low and little, is of a good understanding, magnanimous, confident, and a great {{reconstruct|pretender to love and honour.

Eye-brows.—Those eye-brows that are much {{reconstruct|arched}}, whether in a man or woman, show the {{reconstruct|person}} is proud, high-spirited, bold, and threatening, a lover of beauty. Those, on the other side, eye-brows are black, and the hair of them {{reconstruct|but}} thin, will do nothing without great consideration, and are bold and confident in the performance {{reconstruct|of}} what they undertake.

Eyes.—He whose eyes are hollow in his head, {{reconstruct|is}} one that is suspicious, malicious, perverse in his {{reconstruct|conversation}}, and of an extraordinary memory. {{reconstruct|He}} whose eyes are, as it were, starting out of his {{reconstruct|head}}, is a simple foolish person. He who looks {{reconstruct|studiously}} and acutely, with his eyes and eye-lids {{reconstruct|downwards}}, denotes thereby to be of a malicious {{reconstruct|nature}}, very treacherous, and false. He who hath {{reconstruct|a}} wandering eye, and which is rolling up and {{reconstruct|down}}, is for the most part a vain, simple, deceitful {{reconstruct|man}}, lustful, treacherous, or high-minded. He {{reconstruct|whose}} eyes are twinkling, and which move forward or backward, show the person to be luxurious, {{reconstruct|unfaithful}}, and hard to believe. They whose eyes {{reconstruct|are}} addicted to be bloodshot, {{reconstruct|aro|are}} naturally choleric, {{reconstruct|proud}}, cruel without shame, and much inclined to {{reconstruct|superstition.}}

By nature's art of physiognomy;

And this may teach us goodness more to prize,

For where one s good, twenty are otherwise.}}}}
