 Note the five of hearts declares, Thou shalt manage great affairs, But if got by women then, They’ll love any sort of men.

Now the fix of hearts fortels, In a man her honour dwells, If drawn by the other side, It betokens scorn and pride,

Now the seven I'll maintain; Shews thou haft not liv’d in vain. Thou wilt have the golden prize, But with maids it’s otherwise.

Having drawn the number eight, Shews the servile born to wait; But if woman draw the same, They will mount on wings of fame.

By this nine be well assur’d. Thy love pains must be endur’d. But the maid who gets the nine. Soon in wedlock bands will join.
