"预言,通过诗歌的手段",始于1738年,源自法语 rhapsodomancie,来自希腊语 rhapsodos "吟游诗人"(参见 rhapsody)和 -manteia(参见 -mancy)。还可以参考 bibliomancy 下的 sortes

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]
有各种各样的 rhapsodomancy 实践方法——有时他们会在许多木头、纸张或类似物上写下几句诗句或句子; 把它们放在一个瓮里摇晃,然后抽出一张,这被认为是预言。有时他们在写有诗句的桌子上掷骰子; 骰子停留的地方就包含了预言。[查伯斯的"百科全书",伦敦,1738年]
