Make prognostications from the breast and stomach, which are governed by Cancer.
The Breast without hair signifies a man to be unshamefaced and fearful; the Breast very fleshy, to be inept to learn; hairy on the Breast to be bold but unconstant. The Belly small, signifies to be of good capacity; much Hairy from the navel downwards, to be full of Words; the Belly bearing out big, to be a great feeder.
The Shepherds Prognostication 1729

Hairy navels mean you have a lot of words? That explains it.

ReplyDeleteAnd is epilate a verb ?
"...the Belly bearing out big, to be a great feeder."
ReplyDeleteWow.
It's practically magic the way The Shepherds Prognostication divined that! :-)
Does fluff count ( in the navel)?
ReplyDeleteProbably as much as fluff in the head .
