The King of Clubs.
L.—This, the last, and generous card,
Will the first of blessings prove;
Be but true, nor doubt reward
In a husband’s faithful love.
G.—Of clubs, the king, to you who ill portends,
Friendly yourself, you’ll meet with many friends.
The Eight of Hearts.
L.—In the days of your courtship you’ll bill like a dove,
But when age shall advance you’ll drink very hard
Both kissing and tippling you’ll show that you love,
If fortune shall send you this card.
G.—A numerous family falls to the man,
Whose fortune shall give him this card;
So let him maintain them as well as he can,
Nor grumble or think his case hard.
The Nine of Hearts.
L.—A coach and six horses will fall to the maid
Whose first chance this card shall obtain,
But if ’tis her second, I’m greatly afraid,
She must come of plain walking again.
G.—The man however great or grand,
Who draws the nine of hearts,
For aught that I can understand,
Is one of shallow parts.
The Ten of Hearts.
L.—Decked with every female grace,
Sweet in person, mind and face,
Thou a mother soon shall be,
With thy lovely progeny.
