CHAPTER III 



ISC. Good-morrow, sir, what up and drest so early? 

 VIAT. Yes, sir, I have been drest this half-hour ; 

 for I rested so well, and have so great a mind either 

 to take, or to see a trout taken in your fine river, 

 that I could no longer lie abed. 



Pise. I am so glad to see you so brisk this 



morning, and so eager for sport ; though I must 



tell you, this day proves so calm, and the sun rises so bright, as 

 promises no great success to the angler ; but, however, we'll try, 

 and, one way or other, we shall sure do something. What will you 

 have to your breakfast, or what will you drink this morning ?
