Ten children you will have if this card you get, And, I think you will wish for no more; If you try again and this card you still get, You cannot have less than a score.

This rascally knave will your fortune confound, Except special care you shall take; While scores of young lovers your steps surround You’ll accept of a doating old rake.

Nothing can ever save the man Who draws this cursed card; A vixen shall his heart trepan; Alas! his case is hard.

The queen of love will favour Who draws the queen of hearts, And many a blessing will confer, The fruit of female hearts.

From girl to girl you’ll often range, Never with one content; But yet the oftener you shall change, The oftener you’ll repent.

If this you draw, condemned through life, A peevish maiden, and a vexen wife; Unchaste while married and a widow wanton.

Your fortune can’t be mighty good, For a vile vixen will please you, Who never would do what she should, But make your life uneasy.
