Then the ten is a lucky cast
For it shows the worst is past,
But if girls the like do have,
Love will their kind hearts enslave,

The KING of Hearts.

By this card it doth appear,
Thou shalt live in happy chear.
And if a a famale get this card.
She’ll soon likewise be preferr’d.

The QUEEN of Hearts.

By this card it is well known,
Thou wilt still enjoy thy own,
Women if they get the same,
Will enjoy a virtous name.

The KNAVE.

He that gets the knave of hearts,
It betokens knavish parts.
But if a woman gets the knave,
She will ne’er be man’s slave.

The ACE of Spades.

Thou who gett’st this ace of spades,
Shall be flouted by the maids,
When it is a damsel’s lot,
Love and honour shall be got,
