The Gaming TableIts Votaries And Victims
Von: Andrew SteinmetzA Very Apt Allegory Has Been Imagined As The Origin Of Gaming.
It Is Said That The Goddess Of Fortune, Once Sporting Near The
Shady Pool Of Olympus, Was Met By The Gay And Captivating God Of
War, Who Soon Allured Her To His Arms. They Were United; But The
Matrimony Was Not Holy, And The Result Of The Union Was A
Misfeatured Child Named Gaming. From The Moment Of Her Birth
This Wayward Thing Could Only Be Pleased By Cards, Dice, Or
Counters.
