Matthew Prior - Upon Playing At Ombre With Two Ladies
Work rating: Low

I know that Fortune long has wanted sight,
And therefore pardon`d when she did not right;
But yet till then it never did appear
That, as she wanted eyes, she could not hear.
I begg`d that she would give me leave to lose,
A thing she does not commonly refuse.
Two matadores are out against my game,
Yet still I play, and still my luck`s the same:
Unconquer`d in three suits it does remain,
Whereas I only ask in one to gain;
Yet she still contradicting gifts imparts,
And gives success in every suit — but Hearts.
