 And maids shall have, so fate doth fix,

A widower with ten young chicks.

Eight of Clubs.

By this eight, tho’ whig or quaker.

Thou shall be a cuckold maker.

Maids who get the same are born,

To hold fools and fops in scorn.

Nine of Clubs.

What a nine! upon my life,

Thou shall wed a wealthy wife.

She who gets the same will have.

One That is both fool and knave.

Ten of Clubs.

Now this number half a score,

Denotes thou wilt be wretched poor.

Maids who have this number still,

Shall have joy and wealth at will.

King of Clubs.

There’s the king of clubs’ that shows,

Thou'hast friends as well as foes.

Maids who get this court-card shall

Have but few or none at all.

Queen of Clubs.

If the queen of clubs thou hast,

Thou wilt be with honour grac'd.

And she who the same does find,

Shall have all things to her mind.

Knave of Clubs.

Now the wanly knave appears,

He will bring both doubts and fears.

But women that the same do see,

Will live in peace and unity.
