[ Drayton's poems contain many allusions to fish and fisliini,'. In 

 the 6tli,'25lh, anil 26tli son.Ljs of the " Polyolbion," for instance; in 

 his " Shepherd's Serena ; " his 7th " KcloKiie," and his 6th " \ym- 

 phal." The latter lias never been included in the lone list of sup- 

 posed ante-tvpes of Walton's "Compleat Angler," and yet tiie 

 subject of it is a discussion lietween a woodman, a fisherman and a 

 shepherd, respecting tlie superior merits of the vocation of each. 



Lanili eulogises Dravton alVectionately as the panegyrist of his 

 native earth, " who has gone over her soil ( in his Polyolbion ) with 

 the fidelity of a herald, and the painful love of a son, who has not 

 left a rivulet (so narrow that it may be stept over) without honour- 

 able mention, ami has animated hills and streams with life and pas- 

 sion above the dreams of old mythology." The first edition of the 

 "Polyolbion" a])peared in 1613.]

[If Piscator be Waltonian, in the enthusiastic sense, he will not 

 fixil to include the above in his collection. Josuah Sylvester, in his 

 time, was called the " silver tongued," but his fame has a little faded 

 with the years. The fifth day of the " Diuine weekes and workes " 

 of Du Bartas records the creation of sea and river fish, in the cata- 

 logue of which we find some oddities — the " Whirl-about," for 

 instance, the " Phvseter," and the " Smell-sirong-many-foot."]
