 then you may sit down in a hay-cock and eat it; 

 and Maudlin shall sit by and sing you the good old 

 song of the Hunting in Chevy Chace, or some other

 thinks nothing too good for you, because you be such

 to call upon you again, and give you a little warn-

 now, good Master, let's lose no time ; but tell me 

 somewhat more of fishing, and if you please, first 

 something of fishing for a Gudgeon. 



Pise. I will, honest Scholar.
