Meaning
Between the alternative readings there is no marriage possible; on the one hand, riches, fortune, magnificence; on the other, physical suffering, disease, chagrin, sadness, mortification. The design gives one suggestion; here is a lord overlooking his dominion and alternately contemplating a globe; it looks like the malady, the mortification, the sadness of Alexander amidst the grandeur of this world's wealth.
Additional Meaning
A young lady may expect trivial disappointments.
Reversed
Surprise, wonder, enchantment, emotion, trouble, fear.
