1. Oculus dexter mihi salit.
"My right eye itches", I shall see whom I have long wished for; and,

"Num vobis tinniebant aures, Parmeno?"

Did not your ears tingle? for your mistress was talking of you. We also say, "my face flushes," some one is talking of me; and "my elbow itches," I shall be kissed by a fool. Plautus has many similar phrases in his comedies; whence we learn, that these superstitious fancies have prevailed among the common people in all ages.
