Classic Poem

If sheep were missing from their wonted fold,
Or roosts were plundered, would the loser go
And see the conjuror, he might be told
About his loss, and how effected, too,
Before himself had said that it was so!
'T is true, some hinted it was plain to see
Why the old man should all about it know;
But others thought it still a mystery,
For fortunes, too, he told, and like strange things did he.
