122 SEPTEMBER. 



search for fresh modes by which you may 

 discover the Trout's secrets, and improve your 

 skill ; and more than all, forget not Him who 

 has permitted us to revel in true enjoyment, 

 far beyond all others, and unceasing pray that 

 we may meet again in equal gratitude and joy, 

 in united affection, with one heart and soul. 

 Quit not for an instant thy innocent enjoyments 

 for worldly fame ; the one is perishable, but the 

 other, doubt not, lasts for ever. 



I ask not marble monument, or sculptured name, 

 I seek not riches, power, or princely fame. 

 These heed I not, but let the moments fled 

 Live once again, and haunt me when I'm dead, 

 The forests, flowers, the meadows, and the stream, 

 What envied death if such my lot to dream.
