you need never be Terrified by palmistry— I'm sure no reasons for alarm Are writ upon your dainty paint!

You say that in those mystic lines The palmist read unpleasant signs And omens? O, you silly Nancy To believe in chiromancy!

And why should some fallacious gipsy Hold your graceful finger-tips? He Is a fake (I know the seer) He's only erbing for a beer.

You know the Roman adage that Palmam qui meruit, ferat! If holding hands is to be done, Let me be the lucky one!
