Classic Poem

1.

Our English Gamesters scorne to stake
   Their clothes as Indians do,
 Nor yet themselves, alas, yet both
  Stake soules and lose them to.
2.

O fearfull Games! the divell stakes
  But Strawes and Toyes and Trash,
 (For what is All, compar'd with Christ,
  But Dogs meat and Swines wash?)
3

Man stakes his Jewell-darling soule ,
  (His owne most wretched foe)
 Ventures, and loseth all in sport
  At one most dreadfull throw.
