 the hook before that worm : and I doubt not but

 nine colder he stirs not much, bite at a flag- worm, 

 or at a green gentle, but can positively say no more 

 of the Tench, he being a fish that I have not often 

 angled for, but I wish my honest Scholar may, and 

 be ever fortunate when he fishes.
