# 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 knoweft I delight to make bare, even to the laft 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 cafe of non-payment of the paltry five thouand pounds: Grant that I may fpeedily difcharge the debt, and get free from his Solicitations, for every Female Gamefter fshould be as careful of her honor as her card purſe, and never part with it, but as the laft trump, in a cafe 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 hofpitable manſion all that have full purſes, and I pray thee to watch over the credit and refpectability of my BANK, keep from it all thieves and intruders, let it be confidered as the strong fuit 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 praeſtised upon me. And, finally, I moſt earneſtly intreat thee to protecſ all our Honorable, and Right Honorable Fraternity from the Lectures of La.m.D K.n.y.Q.N, and all, the dire horrors of the flocks and pillory!
