 London, for W. Ponsonbie, 1590. 4"^. 



[ Tlie first of many cdilions. It contains the following passaj^e: 



"But 7"(7w^7«<' failed not to notice them all many times abroad, 

 because she was desirous her friend Miifu'donis (neere whom of pur- 

 pose she led them) miji;ht have full sij^ht of them. Sometimes 

 anijiing to a little river neere liand, which, for the moisture it be- 

 stowed upon roots of some flourisiiing trees, was rewarded with 

 their shadow. There would they sit downe, and prety wagers be 

 matle lietween Piunr/la and Phi/oclrd, which would soonest beguile 

 silly fishes, while Tehnanc protested that the fit prey for them was 

 hearts of Princes, She also had an angle in her hand : but the 

 taker was so taken, that she had forgotten taking. Basilins, in the 

 meanetime, would be the Cooke himself of what was so caught, 

 and Gynecia sit still, but with no still pensiveness." 



By which we are shown that Sir Philip Sidney considered the 

 sport of angling as worthy of being included amongst the perfec- 

 tions of Arcadian pastimes. Also, it gives us a new motto for 

 Piscator — Et in A rcadid ri{0. 



Cotton, in his second part of the "Compleat angler," cites the 

 Arcadia, but not the above passage.]
