IX

That a nine? upon my life,
You shall wed a wealthy wife,
She who gets the same wilt have,
One who is both fool and knave.

X

Now this number half a score,
Shews thou wilt be wretched poor,
Maids who draw this number still,
Will have jobs and wealth at will.

The King of Clubs.

here’s the King of clubs that shows,
Thou hast friends as well as foes,
Maids who the same do draw,
Shall have a man without a flaw.

The Queen of Clubs.

If the queen of clubs thou hast,
Thou wilt be with honour grac’d,
Women if the same they find,
Will have all things to their mind,

THE KNAVE.

Now the vainly knave appears,
He will cut off both thy ears,
Women when the same they fee,
Will be what they us’d to be.
