114 THE COMPLETE ANGLER. [parti. 



on any hawthorn bush after the leaves be come 

 forth : with these and a short line, as I shewed to 

 angle for a Chub, you may dape or dop, and 

 also with a grashopper behind a tree, or in any

 of the water, as if it were alive, and still keep- 

 ing yourself out of sight, you shall certainly have 

 sport if there be Trouts ; yea, in a hot day, but 

 especially in the evening of a hot day, you will 

 have sport. 



And now, Scholar, my direction for fly-fishing is 

 ended with this shower, for it has done raining. 

 And now look about you, and see how pleasantly 

 that meadow looks ; nay, and the earth smells as 

 sweetly too. Come, let me tell you what holy Mr. 

 Herbert says of such days and flowers as these ; and 

 then we will thank God that we enjoy them, and 

 "\valk to the river and sit down quietly, and try to 

 catch the other brace of Trouts. 



Siveet Day, so cool, so calm, so bright, 



The bridal of the earth and sky, 



Sweet dews shall weep thy fall to night, 



For thou must die ! 



Sweet Rose, whose hue, angry and brave, 

 Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye, 



Thy root is ever in it's grave, 



And thou must die !
