The Compleat ^Angler 



you shall now go downward to some streams betwixt the rocks 

 below the little foot bridge you see there, and try your fortune. 

 Take heed of slipping into the water as you follow me under this 

 rock : so, now you are over, and now throw in. 



VIAT. This is a fine stream indeed : there's one ! I have him. 



Pise. And a precious catch you have of him ; pull him out ! I 

 see you have a tender hand : this is a diminutive gentleman, e'en 

 throw him in again, and let him grow till he be more worthy 

 your anger. 



VIAT. Pardon me, sir, all's fish that comes to the hook with me 

 now. Another. 



Pise. And of the same standing. 



VIAT. I see I shall have good sport now : another ! and a grayling. 

 Why, you have fish here at will.
