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]
进行 rhapsodomancy 的方法有很多种——有时人们会把诗人的几句诗或句子写在许多木片、纸片等上,然后将它们放入一个 urn 中摇晃,随机抽出一片,这被视为命运之选。有时他们会在桌子上掷骰子,桌子上写着诗句,骰子停留的地方就是预言的内容。[摘自《查姆伯斯百科全书》,伦敦,1738年]
