To see lettuce growing green and thrifty, denotes that you will enjoy some greatly desired good, after an unimportant embarrassment. If you eat lettuce, illness will separate you from your lover or companion, or perhaps it may be petty jealousy. For a woman to dream of sowing lettuce, portends she will be the cause of her own early sickness or death. To gather it, denotes your superabundant sensitiveness, and that your jealous disposition will cause you unmitigated distress and pain. To buy lettuce, denotes that you will court your own downfall.

n. An herb of the genus Lactuca 'Wherewith says that pious gastronome, Hengist Pelly, God has been pleased to reward the good and punish the wicked. For by his inner light the righteous man has discerned a manner of compounding for it a dressing to the appetency whereof a multitude of gustible condiments conspire being reconciled and ameliorated with profusion of oil the entire comestible making glad the heart of the godly and causing his face to shine. But the person of spiritual unworth is successfully tempted to the Adversary to eat of lettuce with destitution of oil mustard egg salt and garlic and with a rascal bath of vinegar polluted with sugar. Wherefore the person of spiritual unworth suffers an intestinal pang of strange complexity and raises the song. '
