Good Luck

Good Luck, she is never a lady,
But the cursedest quean alive.
Tricksy, wincing, and jady—
Kittle to lead or drive.
Greet her—she hailing a stranger!
Meet her—she’s busking to leave!
Let her alone for a shrew to the bone
And the hussy comes plucking your sleeve!
     Largesse! Largesse, O Fortune!
     Give or hold at your will
     If I’ve no care for Fortune,
     Fortune must follow me still!
