LET THE CARDS TELL.
Two Knaves are a warning that false friends are near; And Three Knaves spell knavery—that’s very clear; Two Queens tell secrets—please don’t confide; Three Queens mean scandal, women who chide — Now something cheerful! Aces in threes Speak of surprises certain to please! You want a letter from your love — deal out the cards, mi threes; Look carefully for the Six of Hearts, but do remember, please, That if that letter’s in the post, the Six must lio between. Young Cupid (he’s the Knave of Hearts) and you— That is your Queen.
