1. COme, cut again; the Games not done, Though strangely yet the Cards have run, As if they packt had been: Most, likely are to loose, and say They know not whats next best to Play: Such shuffling nere was seen. 2. Look well (my Masters) to your hits, And have about you all your wits, For high the Play dos run; Three Kingdoms now at stake do lye, And Rooks all hocus-tricks do try, That ye may be undone. 3. On Clubs and Spades, some wholly bet, For they the most are like to get, Whilst Hearts in vain contest; And Diamonds too, unto their cost Who have them, sure are to be lost, The Blackest Cards are best. 4. God Bless all Kings and Queens, though now The best Coate-Cards, (the Lord knows how) At this preposterous Game, Are all like to Commanded be, And trumpt with all their Royalty, By every Knavish Pam. 5. So Hewson blinde (though he be dead,) Alive was by blinde Fortune led, And still did winning go, And ever since we finde that he, Sweeps all with his Effigie, The great Pamphilio. 6. Nay Trays and Duces, which were deemd The basest Cards, are now esteemd Prime ones to win the Day, So that you see, to gain the prize, Poor Kings and Queens you must despise, And Honours throw away. 7. Thus the best Cards are now the worst, And what was last is become first, No wonder now adays: The Nation topsy turvy lies, And as twere pleasd with CONTRARIES, At losing Loadum Plays.

8. THis is like some Utopian game, Where Servant Maids controul their Dame, And Kings are Subjects made; Felons their Judges do indite, And he a Traytor is down right, Who falsly is betrayd. 9. A Dunce who never took Degrees, But such as led to Villanies, A DOCTOR is most sound. He who to furnish his own wants, Can seize Gold-Cross, or Silver-Saints A JUSTICE is renownd. 10. Who Horse to Battel never led, But has with many Horses fled, Out of his Neighbours field, A CAPTAIN is, and with his word, Kills more than with his dulle Sword, He ever made to yield. 11. A VILLAIN, who can cheat his Lord Gets Chains of Gold, insteed of Cord, And is from Prison freed: For HIM who says he Murdered has, A Pardon both for that dos pass, And all he ever did. 12. WHO for fowl Crimes and Forgeries, Has worn the Yoak of Pillories, And has been whipt about, If he but add new Perjury, He wipes off past Iniquity, And speaks Truth without doubt. 13. He that had rather chuse to dye, Then to Redeem his Life and Lye; Is the only perjurd Rogue: And they who Damn themselves to live, Sure signs of their Probation give, For theyre the Saints in vogue. 14. Then Play away, (good Country Man,) What Hands the best, is now most plain, And boldly thou mayst Stake; A PACK of KNAVES together get, And never doubt to win the Set, For They the Voll will make.
