72 THE COMPLETE ANGLER. PART i. 



COR. Well sung, brother, you have paid your debt in good 

 coin. We anglers are all beholden to the good man that made 

 this song: come, hostess, give us more ale, and let's drink to 

 him. 



And now let's every one go to bed, that we may rise early : 

 but first let's pay our reckoning, for I will have nothing to 

 hinder me in the morning, for my purpose is to prevent the sun- 

 rising. 



PETER, A match. Come, Coridon, you are to be my bed- 

 fellow. I know, brother, you and your scholar will lie together. 

 But where shall we meet to-morrow night? for my friend 

 Coridon and I will go up the water towards Ware. 



PlSC. And my scholar and I will go down towards Waltham. 



COR. Then let's meet here, for here are fresh sfe^ej^JJiat 

 inpfill nMnvrnrlrr; and I am sure we cannot expect better meat 

 or better usage in any place. 



PETER. 'Tis a match. Good night to everybody. 



Pise. And so say I. 



YEN. And so say I.
