Here you will find the Poem Love Compared To A Game Of Tables of poet William Strode
Love is a game at tables where the dye Of mayds affections doth by fancie fly: If once you catch their fancie in a blott It's tenne to one if then you enter not: You being a gamester then may boldly venter, And if you finde the point lye open enter: But marke them well, for by false playing then, Doe what you can they will be bearing men.
