PISGATOR. 



WELL met, brother Peter ! I heard you and a friend 

 "would lodge here to-night ; and that hath made me to 

 bring my friend to lodge here too. My friend is one 

 that would fain be a brother of the angle : he hath been 

 an angler but this day ; and 1 have taught him, how to 

 catch a Chub, by daping with a grashopper; and the 

 Chub he caught was a lusty one of nineteen inches long. 

 JBut, pray, brother Prter ! who is your companion ? 



Peter. Brother Piscator ! my friend is an honest 

 countryman, and his name is Coridon : and he is a 

 downright witfy companion, that met me here, pur- 

 posely to be pleasant and eat a Trout ; and I have not 

 wetted my line since we met together : but I hope to fit 

 him with a Trout for his breakfast ; for I'll be early up. 



Pise. Nay, brother! you shall not stay so long; 

 for, look you J here is a 



ill fill six reasonable bellies
