CARD
Fortune-Book:
FOR THE BENEFIT OF
Young Men and Blooming Maids;
Who, by drawing Cards, as directed in this Book,
may know whether Life shall be long or short;
whether they shall have the Person desired; or
any lawful Question.
Ace of Diamonds
SINCE this Ace it seems your lot,
You’ll wed one that’s fierce and hot,
But if woman-kind draw it,
She’ll wed one with wealth and wit.
Deuce of Diamonds.
Hast thou drawn number two?
Thou’lt wed one that’s just and true.
But if a woman this shall have,
Beware of a sly cunning knave.
Tray of Diamonds.
Having drawn number three,
Honour will thy portion be.
But a maid who gets the same,
Must take care of wanton shame.
Four of Diamonds.
The man who gets the number four,
He must quit his native shore.
If the same be drawn by a woman,
She’ll have fortune most uncommon.
