 Since the seven’s come to hand, It doth intitle thethee [sic] to land, But girls by this shall wed those, Who have no money, friends or clothes,

This eight doth fortell you shall, Wed a woman straight and tall, If to a girl the like do come, She weds a brother of Tom Thumb.

By this nine thou art fortold, Thou shalt wed one lame and old, Maids if they do get this chance, May themselves to wealth advance.

Tis seen by the ten of spades, Thou shalt follow many trades, Thrive by none. But women they, By this chance can’t work but play.

By this King observe and note, You on golden streams will float, Woman by the self-same lot, Will long enjoy what they have got.
