Of the Teeth. · Book 1, encoded section 21 · Text transcription

Original source (English)

THe upper téeth signifie the best kindred of the house, and the lower teeth signifie the inferiour. For you must know that the mouth representeth the house, the teeth inhabitants. Those of the right side the men, the other the women. Or otherwise, the right, signifie the elder, the left the yonger: the eye téeth, them of middle age: the great téeth the old folks. Wherefore what kinde of téeth soever a man dreams he loseth, he shall lose some such personage as that tooth signifieth. But when the téeth signifyeth losse of goods: by the great téeth are méant hidden treasures; by the other, a vessell or some other thing of little importance. To such as are in debt, what kinde of tooth soever fals out it certifies them, that they shal acquit themselves: the téeth falling all at one blow, signifieth that the house shall be forsaken and abandoned of all inhabitants. For such as are Sick, to dreame that any tooth or téeth fall out, signifieth long sickenesse, but without death. It were better for him to dreame that he should lose all his teeth, for then he should recover the sooner. For a servant to have no téeth is a signe of liberty: to Merchants good gaine of their merchandises, charges and traffickes: téeth which seem to grow in such sort as if the one would excéed the other, signifie sedition in the house, or if they seem to move though they fall not out: those which have black teeth, or rotten broken teeth and dreame they lose them, shall be delivered from their evils and anger. Also by this dream, some have lost their old folkes: to have téeth of gold is good for such as study to speak well, to others it is hurt in their house by fire: to other sickenesse by abundance of choller: to have their téeth of waxe, its suddain death: to have them of leade or tynn, it is also shame and dishonour: of glasse or wood, violent death: of Silver, you shall get mony by eloquence: to the rich, it is great expence in hospitality and necessary provision: to dreame to lose his teeth and recover others, is change of estate into good or evill, according to the quality of teeth: to dreame his teeth are in his hand or bosome, is losse of Children: to grate his teeth against his tongue, is to end his paines and miseries by his Eloquence.
