[In this, the loth. of his Idylls, Ausonius celebrates the Moselle 

 and describes its fish and fishinjr. He mentions two species of fish 

 — the sii/df luid \.\\{; fiirio, wliicli ;ire cviilciit'.y the burn ami salmon- 

 trout of modern times; and although he takes no notice of angling 

 with the lly, he describes a scene of river-fishing with rod and a 

 float in the language of poetry and truth. See vv. 240 — 265.

[This poem is ascribed to the Rev. J. Huckell. The following 

 passage will serve as a specimen: — 



" See where serenely gay the Nymph invites 

 To more secure, tho' less sublime delights. 

 The studious angler see, with pleasing care, 

 The flowing line and quiv'ring rod prepare. 

 Delightful task! when all the woodlands sing 

 The roseat beauties of inspiring spring. 

 Often m'^xy patience, wisdom's meek-eyed friend, 

 To ev'ry fam'd recess his steps attend; 

 And then propitious to the vot'ry's skill 

 Flow soft ye waters, and ye winds be still ! " 

 At pp. 62-66, lines 101-166, angling is again touched on.]
