What (Male) Breasts, Bellies and Stomachs can tell us

Adolf Schroedter  1805-1875
 Falstaff und sein Page


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

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

  3. What about men who epilate ?
    And is epilate a verb ?

  4. "...the Belly bearing out big, to be a great feeder."
    Wow.
    It's practically magic the way The Shepherds Prognostication divined that! :-)
