# THE FEMALE GAMBLER'S PRAYER!!

ENCHANTING PHARAOH, thee I addreſs, with a heart teeming with gratitude for all the favors showered on thy ardent worſhipper... Thy name O mighty PHARAOH, is derived from the Hebrew, literally "to make bare," and well thou knowest I delight to make bare, even to the laſt feather, the pigeon that flys to my midnight orgies.

Throw a main in my favor, I beſeech thee, this evening, so that I may avoid the temptations of Captain SIMPER, who, I am apprehenſive, has a defign upon my virtue, in caſe of non-payment of the paltry five thouſand pounds: Grant that I may ſpeedily diſcharge the debt, and get free from his ſolicitation's, for every Female Gameſter ſhould be as careful of her honor as her card purſe, and never part with it, but as the laſt trump, in a caſe of the moſt dire neceſſity.

Grant me ingenuity in every game that enters the vortex of enchanting variety, from Imperial Cheſts to humble All-fours.

Bring to my hofpitable manſion all that have full purſes, and I pray thee to watch over the credit and reſpectability of my BANK, keep from it all thieves and intruders, let it be confidered as the strong ſuit of property, and give me the commanding card in my own hands, so that I may be guarded againſt all tricks and fineſſe attempted to be praeſtifed upon me. And, finally, I moſt earneſtly intreat thee to proteſt all our Honorable, and Right Honorable Fraternity from the Lectures of L......D K.........N, and all the dire horrors of the flocks and pillory!

THE FEMALE GAMBLER'S PRAYER!!

ENCHANTING PHARAOH, thee I addrefs, with a heart teeming with gratitude for all the favors showered on thy ardent worshipper.... Thy name O mighty PHARAOH, is derived from the Hebrew, literally "to make bare," and well thou knowest I delight to make bare, even to the last feather, the pigeon that flies to my midnight orgies.

Throw a main in my favor, I befeech thee, this evening, so that I may avoid the temptations of Captain SIMPER, who, I am apprehensive, has a design upon my virtue, in case of non-payment of the paltry five thousand pounds: Grant that I may speedily discharge the debt, and get free from his solicitation's, for every Female Gameafter should be as careful of her honor as her card purse, and never part with it, but as the last trump, in a case of the most dire necessity.

Grant me ingenuity in every game that enters the vortex of enchanting variety, from Imperial Chefs to humble All-fours.

Bring to my hospitable manion all that have full purses, and I pray thee to watch over the credit and respectability of my BANK, keep from it all thieves and intruders, let it be considered as the strong suit of property, and give me the commanding card in my own hands, so that I may be guarded against all tricks and finesse attempted to be practised upon me. And, finally, I most earnefully intreat thee to protect all our Honorable, and Right Honorable Fraternity from the Lectures of L....D K...., and all the dire horrors of the flocks and pillory!
