The Third Day 53 



PlSCATOR. What is it, I pray, Sir ? You are so 

 modest, that methinks I may promise to grant it 

 before it is asked. 



VENATOR. Why, Sir, it is, that from henceforth 

 you would allow me to call you Master, and that 

 really I may be your scholar ; for you are such a 

 companion, and have so quickly caught and so 

 excellently cooked this fish, as makes me ambitious 

 to be your scholar. 



PlSCATOR. Give me your hand ; from this time 

 forward I will be your Master, and teach you as 

 much of this art as I am able ; and will, as you 

 desire me, tell you somewhat of the nature of mo. c t 

 of the fish that we are to angle for, and I am sure I 

 both can and will tell you more than any common 

 angler yet knows.
