Not Sickness stains the Brave — Game of Hearts

Not Sickness stains the Brave, 1
Nor any Dart,
Nor Doubt of Scene to come,
But an adjourning Heart-
(F.1661/J.1613)
[1] Brave:: In Hearts a player who gets all the hearts in a deal can gain extra bonus, but then he risks greatly; it's a brave attempt.
[4] Heart:: a playing card, each heart worth one point in this game; it hints at the answer. adjourning:: delaying of the last heart in the brave act to get all thirteen hearts.
