To a Lady after losing at Whisk.
In vain we dare your skill at Whisk;(No prudent man wou'd run the risque)
How cou'd we hope to conquer now?
We minded not the cards—but you,
So rogues oft act, and such their art is:
They prepare something to divert us,
Which while with eagerness we look at,
The villains slily pick our pockett.
