 This ten it is a lucky cast, For it doth show the worst is past; But if the maids the same shall have, Love will their tender hearts enslave.

By this card surely 'twill appear, Thou shall live long in happy cheer ; And if a woman draws this card, She shall likewise be high preferred.

Now by this card it is well known, Thou shall enjoy still all thy own : But women if they draw the same, Shall sure enjoy a happy name.

He that doth draw the knave of h Betokens he hath knavish parts; But if a woman draws the knave, She ne'er shall be any man's slave.

Thou that dost draw the ace of spades, Shall be sore flouted by the maids; And when it is a damsel's lot, Both love and honour go to pot.

Always this deuce betokens strife, And with a scolding wanton wife; But if a woman's lot it be, Honour, great love, and dignity.
