 Thou that art happy, in this trey, Shalt surely wed a lady gay; Whilst maids who now the same shall take Join marriage with a poor town rake.

Now the same four betokens you Shall be a chief of the forked crew; Maids that do draw the same, shall meet With certain joys always complete.

The five of spades gives you to know, That you must thro' some troubles go; But if a woman, it foretells Her virtue others far excels.

The six foretells whene'er you wed, You'll have a young crack'd maidenhead ; But if a maid the number draws, She'll wed a man of loud applause.

Now as the seven comes to hand, It does entitle you to land; But maids with this shall wed with those That have no money, friends, or clothes.

This eight of spades foretells you shall Wed a young maid, fair, straight, & tall; If to a maid the same shall come, She weds the brother of Tom Thumb.
