There were various methods of practicing rhapsodomancy—Sometimes they wrote several verses or sentences of a poet, on so many pieces of wood, paper, or the like; shook them together in an urn; and drew out one, which was accounted the lot. Sometimes they cast dice on a table, whereon verses were wrote; and that whereon the dye lodged, contained the prediction. [Chambers' "Cyclopædia," London, 1738]
有各種各樣的 rhapsodomancy 實踐方法——有時他們會在許多木頭、紙張或類似物上寫下幾句詩句或句子; 把它們放在一個甕裏搖晃,然後抽出一張,這被認爲是預言。有時他們在寫有詩句的桌子上擲骰子; 骰子停留的地方就包含了預言。[查伯斯的"百科全書",倫敦,1738年]
