701 Who knows the sign, and reads unuttered thought, the gem is he Of earth round traversed by the changeless sea.

702 Undoubting, who the minds of men can scan, As [a gift of GOD] regard that gifted man.

703 Who by the sign the signs interprets plain, Give any member up his aid to gain.

704 Who reads what's shown by signs, though words unspoken be, In form may seem as other men, in function nobler far is he.

705 By sign who knows not signs to comprehend, what gain, 'Mid all his members, from his eyes does he obtain?

706 As forms around in crystal mirrored clear we find, The face will show what's throbbing in the mind.

707 Than speaking countenance hath aught more prescient skill? Rejoice or burn with rage, 'tis the first herald still!

708 To see the face is quite enough, in presence brought, When men can look within and know the lurking thought.

709 The eye speaks out the hate or friendly soul of man; To those who know the eye's swift varying moods to scan.

710 The men of keen discerning soul no other test apply (When you their secret ask) than man's revealing eye.
