Now this duce betokens strife,
(illegible text) foolish whorish wife,
(illegible text) woman's lot it be,
Honour, love and dignity.
III
Thou art happy in this tray,
And wilt wed some lady gay,
But girls who the same do take,
Shall wed with some poor town rake.

Now this four betokens you,
Must be of the horned crew,
Girls who get the like will meet,
With the height of joys complete.
V
This five of spades gives you to know,
That you must through great troubles go,
But if a virgin, it fortells,
Her virtue others much excels.
VI
This six fortells when you do wed,
You’ll have a cracked maidenhead,
But the girl this number draws,
She’ll wed one with great applause.
