THE COMPLETE ANGLER 205 



Pise. Well remembered, brother Peter : these verses 

 came seasonably, and we thank you heartily. Come, we 

 will all join together, my host and all, and sing my 

 scholar's catch over again, and then each man drink 

 the other cup and to bed, and thank God we have a dry 

 house over our heads. 



Pise. Well now, good night to everybody. 



PETER. And so say I. 



VEN. And so say I. 



COR. Good night to you all, and I thank you. 



[Jftftb 



Pise. Good-morrow, brother Peter, and the like to you, 

 honest Coridon : come, my hostess says there is seven 

 shillings to pay : let us each man drink a pot for his 

 morning's draught, and lay down his two shillings ; that 

 so my hostess may not have occasion to repent herself 

 of being so diligent, and using us so kindly. 



PETER. The motion is liked by everybody ; and so, 

 hostess, here's your money : we anglers are all beholding 

 to you, it will not be long ere I'll see you again. And 

 now, brother Piscator, I wish you and my brother your 

 scholar a fair day and good fortune. Come, Coridon, 

 this is our way.
