OR WALTONIAN CHRONICLE. 23

To keep him from lewd women's charms. 



She sent him to the Penton Arms,* 



And this she thought would end her qualms, 



While he learned to be an Angler. 



He heard them talking with delight 



Of fishing and what fish would bite, 



Thinks he to himself 'twill be all right, 



I'll be a fisher from this night. 



He wink'd his eye and gave a nod, 



I've a bran new fishing rod, 



And I think, or it's very odd 



If I am not an Angler. 



Winches, &c. 



3. 



He calPd for pen and ink, and wrote 

 To his tailor for a fishing coat, 

 And said I'll be a man of note, 

 As I'm a jolly Angler. 

 His watchmaker a watch should make, 

 That no appointment he might break. 

 Captains' biscuits he would take, 

 And snuff to keep him wide awake. 



* Barren Street, Peutonville, where the Waltonian Society is held.
