The Compleat ^Angler 



Peace, Chloris, peace, or singing die, 

 That together you and I 



To heaven may go; 



For all we know 

 Of what the blessed do above 

 Is that they sing, and that they love. 



Pise. Well remembered, brother Peter : these verses came 

 seasonably, and we thank you heartily. Come, we will all join 

 together, my host and all, and sing my scholar's catch over again, 

 and then each man drink the other cup, and to bed, and thank God 

 we have a dry house over our heads. 



Pise. Well now, good-night to everybody. 



PETER. And so say I. 



VEN. And so say I. 



COR. Good-night to you all, and I thank you. 



Pise. Good-morrow, brother Peter, and the like to you, honest 

 Coridon : come, my hostess says there is seven shillings to pay : let 

 us each man drink a pot for his morning's draught, and lay down 

 his two shillings ; that so my hostess may not have occasion to 

 repent herself of being so diligent, and using us so kindly.
