OR WALTONIAN CHRONICLE. 37 



And how he did enjoy himself 

 I am about to tell. 



With rod, &c. 



3. 



He to the Swan at Ditton drove, 

 And call'd aloud for Bob, the groom, 

 Meanwhile a chubby chambermaid 

 Trip'd before him to his room ; 

 Said he, send for a fisherman, 

 Get supper in a trice, 

 A duck, a fowl, or pigeon pie, 

 I am not over nice. 



With rod, &c. 



4. 



The man soon came, and made his bow, 

 I hope, Sir, you are well, said he ; 

 Yes, Joe, I'm very well, said Chub, 

 Now hold your tongue, and list to me ; 

 Get lots of bait, your punt well cleaned, 

 And ope' that tackle chest, 

 And look out for to-morrow's sport 

 What you consider best. 



With rod &c.
