“ But with maids ’tis otherwise.
⁠⁠⁠Eight of Hearts.
Having drawn the number eight,
Shows thee servile, born to wait.
But if women draw the same,
They will mount on wings of' fame.
⁠⁠⁠Nine of Hearts.
By this nine be well assured,
Thy love-sick pains must be endured.
But the maid who gets the nine,
Soon in wedlock’s bands will join.
⁠⁠⁠Ten of Hearts.
The ten it is a luckey cast,
As it doth show the worst is past
But if girls the like do have,
Love will their kind hearts enslave. ”

“ Seen ’tis by the ten of spades,
Thou wilt follow many trades,
Thrive by none—But women they
By this chance don’t work but play.
⁠⁠⁠King of Spades.
By this King observe and note,
You on golden streams will float.
Women by the self-same lot,
Long enjoy what they have got. ”

“ Thou wilt soon to riches rise.
Women by the same will have.
What they do desire and crave.
⁠⁠⁠Knave of Spades.
’Tis the knave, then have a care,
That thou dost not make the pair.
Women, who the same do choose,
Will prove sluts, but that’s no news. ”
