dimples of love�察�and her brow is wrinkled over�察�though she is yet 



young。  Her complexion is more than dark�察�for it is almost that of 



a mulatto�察�and her hair�察�which hangs in long locks on either side 



of her face�察�is black as coal�察�and coarse as the tail of a horse�察�



from which it seems to have been gathered。







There is no female eye in Seville can support the glance of hers�察 � 



so fierce and penetrating�察�and yet so artful and sly�察�is the 



expression of their dark orbs�察�her mouth is fine and almost 



delicate�察�and there is not a queen on the proudest throne between 



Madrid and Moscow who might not and would not envy the white and 



even rows of teeth which adorn it�察�which seem not of pearl but of 



the purest elephant's bone of Multan。  She comes not alone�察�a 



swarthy two´year´old bantling clasps her neck with one arm�察�its 



naked body half extant from the coarse blanket which�察�drawn round 



her shoulders�察�is secured at her bosom by a skewer。  Though tender 



of age�察�it looks wicked and sly�察�like a veritable imp of Roma。  



Huge rings of false gold dangle from wide slits in the lobes of her 



ears�察�her nether garments are rags�察�and her feet are cased in 



hempen sandals。  Such is the wandering Gitana�察�such is the witch´



wife of Multan�察�who has come to spae the fortune of the Sevillian 



countess and her daughters。







'O may the blessing of Egypt light upon your head�察�you high´born 



lady�  。�May an evil end overtake your body�察�daughter of a Busnee 



harlot�。� and may the same blessing await the two fair roses of the 



Nile here flowering by your side�  。�May evil Moors seize them and 



carry them across the water�。�  O listen to the words of the poor 



woman who is come from a distant country�察�she is of a wise people�察�



though it has pleased the God of the sky to punish them for their 



sins by sending them to wander through the world。  They denied 



shelter to the Majari�察�whom you call the queen of heaven�察�and to 



the Son of God�察�when they flew to the land of Egypt before the 



wrath of the wicked king�察�it is said that they even refused them a 



draught of the sweet waters of the great river when the blessed two 



were athirst。  O you will say that it was a heavy crime�察�and truly 



so it was�察�and heavily has the Lord punished the Egyptians。  He has 



sent us a´wandering�察�poor as you see�察�with scarcely a blanket to 



cover us。  O blessed lady�察。�Accursed be thy dead�察�as many as thou 



mayest have�撮� we have no money to buy us bread�察�we have only our 



wisdom with which to support ourselves and our poor hungry babes�察�



when God took away their silks from the Egyptians�察�and their gold 



from the Egyptians�察�he left them their wisdom as a resource that 



they might not starve。  O who can read the stars like the 



Egyptians�拭�and who can read the lines of the palm like the 



Egyptians�拭 �The poor woman read in the stars that there was a rich 



ventura for all of this goodly house�察�so she followed the bidding 



of the stars and came to declare it。  O blessed lady�察。�I defile thy 



dead corse�撮� your husband is at Granada�察�fighting with king 



Ferdinand against the wild Corahai�  。�May an evil ball smite him 



and split his head�。�  Within three months he shall return with 



twenty captive Moors�察�round the neck of each a chain of gold。  ��God 



grant that when he enter the house a beam may fall upon him and 



crush him�。�  And within nine months after his return God shall 



bless you with a fair chabo�察�the pledge for which you have sighed 



so long。  ��Accursed be the salt placed in its mouth in the church 



when it is baptized�。�  Your palm�察�blessed lady�察�your palm�察�and the 



palms of all I see here�察�that I may tell you all the rich ventura 



which is hanging over this good house�察。�May evil lightning fall 



upon it and consume it�。� but first let me sing you a song of Egypt�察�



that the spirit of the Chowahanee may descend more plenteously upon 



the poor woman。'







Her demeanour now instantly undergoes a change。  Hitherto she has 



been pouring forth a lying and wild harangue without much flurry or 



agitation of manner。  Her speech�察�it is true�察�has been rapid�察�but 



her voice has never been raised to a very high key�察�but she now 



stamps on the ground�察�and placing her hands on her hips�察�she moves 



quickly to the right and left�察�advancing and retreating in a 



sidelong direction。  Her glances become more fierce and fiery�察�and 



her coarse hair stands erect on her head�察�stiff as the prickles of 



the hedgehog�察�and now she commences clapping her hands�察�and 



uttering words of an unknown tongue�察�to a strange and uncouth tune。  



The tawny bantling seems inspired with the same fiend�察�and�察�foaming 



at the mouth�察�utters wild sounds�察�in imitation of its dam。  Still 



more rapid become the sidelong movements of the Gitana。  Movement� �



she springs�察�she bounds�察�and at every bound she is a yard above the 



ground。  She no longer bears the child in her bosom�察�she plucks it 



from thence�察�and fiercely brandishes it aloft�察�till at last�察�with a 



yell she tosses it high into the air�察�like a ball�察�and then�察�with 



neck and head thrown back�察�receives it�察�as it falls�察�on her hands 



and breast�察�extracting a cry from the terrified beholders。  Is it 



possible she can be singing�拭 �Yes�察�in the wildest style of her 



people�察�and here is a snatch of the song�察�in the language of Roma�察�



which she occasionally screams ´











'En los sastos de yesque plai me diquelo��



Doscusanas de sonacai terelo�察 �



Corojai diquelo abillar��



Y ne asislo chapescar�察�chapescar。'







'On the top of a mountain I stand��



With a crown of red gold in my hand�察 �



Wild Moors came trooping o'er the lea��



O how from their fury shall I flee�察�flee�察�flee��



O how from their fury shall I flee��'











Such was the Gitana in the days of Ferdinand and Isabella�察�and much 



the same is she now in the days of Isabel and Christina。







Of the Gitanas and their practices I shall have much to say on a 



future occasion�察�when speaking of those of the present time�察�with 



many of whom I have had no little intercourse。  All the ancient 



Spanish authors who mention these women speak of them in unmeasured 



terms of abhorrence�察�employing against them every abusive word 



contained in the language in which they wrote。  Amongst other vile 



names�察�they have been called harlots�察�though perhaps no females on 



earth are�察�and have ever been�察�more chaste in their own persons�察�



though at all times willing to encourage licentiousness in others�察�



from a hope of gain。  It is one thing to be a procuress�察�and 



another to be a harlot�察�though the former has assuredly no reason 



to complain if she be confounded with the latter。  'The Gitanas��' 



says Doctor Sancho de Moncada�察�in his discourse concerning the 



Gypsies�察�which I shall presently lay before the reader�察�'are public 



harlots�察�common�察�as it is said�察�to all the Gitanos�察�and with 



dances�察�demeanour�察�and filthy songs�察�are the cause of infinite harm 



to the souls of the vassals of your Majesty ��Philip III。���察�as it is 



notorious what infinite harm they have caused in many honourable 



houses。  The married women whom they have separated from their 



husbands�察�and the maidens whom they have perverted�察�and finally�察�in 



the best of these Gitanas�察�any one may recognise all the signs of a 



harlot given by the wise king�此  �they are gadders about�察�



whisperers�察�always unquiet in the places and corners。;' ��28��







The author of Alonso�察。�29�� he who of all the old Spanish writers 



has written most graphically concerning the Gitanos�察�and I believe 



with most correctness�察�puts the following account of the Gitanas�察�



and their fortune´telling practices�察�into the entertaining mouth of 



his hero�此�







'O how many times did these Gitanas carry me along with them�察�for 



being�察�after all�察�women�察�even they have their fears�察�and were glad 



of me as a protector�此 �and so they went through the neighbouring 



villages�察�and entered the houses a´begging�察�giving to understand 



thereby their poverty and necessity�察�and then they would call aside 



the girls�察�in order to tell them the buena ventura�察�and the young 



fellows the good luck which they were to enjoy�察�never failing in 



the first place to ask for a cuarto or real�察�in order to make the 



sign of the cross�察�and with these flattering words�察�they got as 



much as they could�察�although�察�it is true�察�not much in money�察�as 



their harvest in that article was generally slight�察�but enough in 



bacon to afford subsistence to their husbands and bantlings。  I 



looked on and laughed at the simplicity of those foolish people�察�



who�察�especially such as wished to be married�察�were as satisfied and 



content with what the Gitana told them�察�as if an apostle had spoken 



it。'







The above description of Gitanas telling fortunes amongst the 



villages of Navarre�察�and which was written by a Spanish author at 



the commencement of the seventeenth century�察�is�察�in every respect�察�



applicable�察�as the reader will not fail to have observed�察�to the 



English Gypsy women of the present day�察�engaged in the same 



occupation in the rural districts of England�察�where the first 



demand of the sibyls is invariably a sixpence�察�in order that they 



may cross their hands with silver�察�and where the same promises are 



made�察�and as easily believed�察�all which�察�if it serves to confirm 



the opinion that in all times the practices and habits of the 



Egyptian race have been�察�in almost all respects�察�the same as at the 



present day�察�brings us also to the following mortifying conclusion�察�



´ that mental illumination�察�amongst the generality of mankind�察�has 



made no progress at all�察�as we observe in the nineteenth century 



the same gross credul
