The GAMESTERS.
For what is a Man profited, if he shall gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul?
Matthew xvi. 26.
If the destructive Art of Dice
Could Wealth immense insure,
Or Man the World by Dice could gain,
What Good would it procure?
His Soul this Practice will destroy,
Entangled in its Snare,
A Loss which no Art, Fraud, or Chance,
Is able to repair.
