The Occasion, Intention, and use of the Foure Lotteries adjoyned to these foure Books of Emblems.
Of Swearing, or mispending of our Time;
Nor losse of money: For, the Play is short,
And, ev'ry Gamester winneth by the sport.
Wee, therefore, know it may aswell become
The Hall, the Parlor, or the Dining-roome,
As Chesse, or Tables; and, we thinke the Price
Will be as low; because, it needs no Dice.
