The Fourth Day 155 



For thee, thou need'st no such deceit, 

 For thou thyself art thine own bait ; 

 That fish that is not catcht thereby, 

 Is wiser afar, alas, than I. 



PlSCATOR. Well remembered, honest scholar. I 

 thank you for these choice verses; which I have 

 heard formerly, but had quite forgot, till they were 

 recovered by your happy memory. Well, being I 

 have now rested myself a little, I will make you 

 some requital, by telling you some observations of 

 the Eel ; for it rains still : and because, as you say, 

 our angles are as money put to use, that thrives 

 when we play, therefore we'll sit still, and enjoy 

 ourselves a little longer under this honeysuckle 

 hedge.
