Piscator and Corydon. 61 



From your Diviner Counsel all you know, 

 Be speedy, while we trace this Medow throw, 

 For at the Old Boundary, there we part, 

 I to my Kine, and you unto your Art. 



Cory don, if for this time, your time you can enlarge 

 The mornings fair, and let your Hind take charge 

 For once, of your fat Herd, the Rivers nigh, 

 Where I'll demonstrate the pleasure I Injoy. 

 By occular inspection you shall see, 

 If Angling be n't a part of Heaven's Divinity. 

 While we with patience here, and with pure minds, 

 Reap the contentment Heaven to Man Injoy ns. 

 Observe the streams and see them silent go, "J 



How on the bancks a thousand beauties grow, \ 

 The wise Creator did, in mighty Love bestow j 

 On Man, and, by a Providential care, 

 Stock' d all the waters with the Fish are there, 

 Who multiply, and therein largely breed, 

 To give us Joy, and serve us at our need. 

 Tho 'tis confest your stock and care extends 

 The Limits, unto which my study bends.

Great is my care, and great my Labours be, 

 Confin'd to be a drudge eternally; 

 Yet use and daily labour brings me gain. 

 When Udders overflow with Milk amain, 

 Free from contentions and domestick strife, 

 The Eternal jar ings of a Crabtree life.
