III
Having drawn the number three,
Honour will thy portion be,
But a maid who gets the same,
Must take heed of wanton shame
IV
The man who gets the number four,
He mull quite his native shore.
If the fame be drawn by woman,
She’ll get a sweetheart out of hand,
V
He who draws the number five,
Where he lives he belt will thrive,
But if drawn by woman kind,
They better luck abroad will find.
VI
He that draws the number six,
Will have silly cunning tricks,
But if woman draw the same,
It doth shew them free from blame.
VII
Since the seven doth appear,
Crosses thou hast cause to fear,
Woman who the same do draw,
Fear no crosss of a straw.
