AN ANGLER, A HUNTER, AND A FALCONER 



good company makes the way seem short'; for trust me, Sir, 

 I thought we had wanted three miles of this house till you 

 shewed it to me : but now we are at it, we '11 turn into it, and 

 refresh ourselves with a cup of drink and a little rest. 



Pise. Most gladly, Sir, and we'll drink a civil cup to all 

 the Otter-hunters that are to meet you to-morrow. 



VEN. That we will, Sir, and to all the lovers of Angling 

 too, of which number I am now willing to be one myself; for 

 by the help of your good discourse and company, I have put 

 on new thoughts both of the Art of Angling, and of all that 

 profess it : and if you will but meet me to-morrow, at the time 

 and place appointed, and bestow one day with me and my 

 friends in hunting the Otter, I will dedicate the next two days 

 to wait upon you, and we two will for that time do nothing but 

 Angle, and talk of fish and fishing. 



Pise. 'Tis a match, Sir, I '11 not fail you, God willing, to 

 be at Amwell-hill to-morrow morning before Sun-rising.
