Is it possible to use 2 different examples table in Cucumber/Cuke4Duke

Is it possible to somehow construct a Scenario which uses two different Example tables in different steps? Something like this:

Given I log in
When I view a page
Then I should see <goodText>
Examples:
|goodText|
|abc|
And I should not see <badText>
Examples:
|badText|
|xyz|

The scenario above doesn't work, also in reality there would be more rows to each table.

You say that in reality there would be many more rows to the table; but of course a table can also have many columns.

Would this not work for you?

Given I log in
When I view a page
Then I should see <goodText>
But I should not see <badText>
Examples:
|goodText| badText |
|abc     | xyz     |

It looks like you're confusing tables with scenario examples. You can mix them, but from your example I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. Why not just write:

Given I log in
When I view a page
Then I should see "abc"
But I should not see "xyz"

or if you wanted to check for multiple strings:

Given I log in
When I view a page
Then I should see the following text:
  | abc |
  | def |
But I should not see the following text:
  | xyz |
  | uvw |
