124 IZAAK WALTON AND HIS FRIENDS 



such a load of happiness, that ofttimes my very 

 soul is faint with bearing up the blessed burden." 



In fancy we can imagine Walton "babbling 

 of green fields " ; and thanking God for long 

 and happy days, for friends made and kept, for 

 learning won and knowledge gained ; but above 

 all for the redemption of the world by our Lord 

 Jesus Christ, and for the hope of glory. 



Walton was buried amidst some of the virtuous 

 and the greatly wise, and lies under a marble slab in 

 Prior Silkstead's Chapel in Winchester Cathedral: — 



" In the great minster transept, 

 Where lights like glories fall, 

 And the organ rings, and the sweet choir sings, 

 Along the emblazoned wall.'* 



Dr Alexander.
