HOW TO FISH FOR THE TROUT 



and as certainly, if I catch a Trout in the next meadow, he 

 shall be strong, and red, and lusty, and much better meat : 

 trust me, Scholar, I have caught many a Trout in a particular 

 meadow, that the very shape and the enamelled colour of him 

 hath been such, as hath joyed me to look on him : and I have 

 then with much pleasure concluded with Solomon, * Every thing 

 is beautiful in his season,' Eccles. iii. n. 



I should by promise speak next of the Salmon ; but I will 

 by your favour say a little of the Umber or Grayling ; which is 

 so like a Trout for his shape and feeding, that I desire I may 

 exercise your patience with a short discourse of him, and then 

 the next shall be of the Salmon.
