 Now the Seven, I'll maintain,

Shows thou hast not lov’d in vain,

Thou wilt have the golden prize,

But with maids ’tis otherwise.

Eight of Hearts.

Having drawn the number eight,

Shows thee servile, born to wait.

But if women draw the same,

They will mount on wings of' fame.

Nine of Hearts.

By this nine be well assured,

Thy love-sick pains must be endured.

But the maid who gets the nine,

Soon in wedlock’s bands will join.

Ten of Hearts.

The ten it is a luckey cast,

As it doth show the worst is past

But if girls the like do have,

Love will their kind hearts enslave.

King of Hearts.

By this card it doth appear,

Thou shalt live in happy cheer.

And if a female gets this card.

She'll soon likewise be preferr'd.

Queen of Hearts.

By this card it is well known,

Thou wilt yet enjoy thy own.

Women, if they get the same,

Will enjoy a virtuous name.

Knave of Hearts.

He that gets the knave of hearts,

It betokens knavish parts.
