(obsolete, card games) The winning of the majority of tricks in the game of ombre.
The Knave of Diamonds tries his wily Arts,
and wins (oh shameful Chance!) the Queen of Hearts
At this, the Blood the Virgin's Cheek forsook,
A livid Paleness spreads o'er all her Look;
She sees, and trembles at th' approaching Ill,
Just in the Jaws of Ruin, and Codille.
