TROUT FISHING.— DENHAM, MAY, 1810. 



Morning. 



Hal. — I am delighted to see you, my wor- 

 thy friends, on the banks of the Colne ; and 

 am happy to be able to say, that my excel- 

 lent host has not only made you free of the 

 river for this day's angling, but insists upon 

 your dining with him, — wishes you to try 

 the evening fishing, and the fishing to-mor- 

 row morning, — and proposes to you, in 

 short, to give up twenty-four hours to the 

 delights of an angler's May-day. 



Poiet. — We are deeply indebted to him ; 

 and I hardly know how we can accept his 

 offer, without laying ourselves under too 

 great an obligation.
