The KNAVE.
Is the Knave of Diamonds come,
Then beware the martial drum,
If a virgin gets the knave,
She will better fortune have.
The ACE of Hearts.
He who gets this ace of hearts,
Will appear a man of parts,
She who gets it, I profess,
Has the gift of idelness.
II
He who gets the duce, will be
full of generosity,
But when a woman gets this card,
It doth shew them very hard,
III
The poor man who gets this tray,
When he’s bound he must obey,
Woman who do get this sort,
Will drink brandy by the quart.
IV
He that gets the four will make,
Faithful love for conscience sake,
But if drawn by a woman kind,
They‘ll prove false and sly you’ll find.
