THE FIFTH DAY. 



PlSC. Good-morrow, brother Peter, and the like to you, 

 honest Coridon : come, my hostess says there is seven shillings 

 to pay : let us each man drink a pot for his morning's draught, 

 and lay down his two shillings ; that so my hostess may not 

 have occasion to repent herself of being so diligent, and using 

 us so kindly. 



PETER. The motion is liked by everybody ; and so, hostess, 

 here's your money : we anglers are all beholding to you, it will 

 not be long ere I'll see you again. And now, brother Piscator, 

 I wish you and my brother your scholar a fair day and good 

 fortune. Come, Coridon, this is our way. 



CHAPTER XVII. 



OF ROACH AND DACE, AND HOW TO FISH FOR THEM; 

 AND OF CADIS. 



VEN. Good master, as we go now towards London, be still so 

 courteous as to give me more instructions : for I have several 

 boxes in my memory, in which I will keep them all very safe, 

 there shall not one of them be lost. 



PlSC. Well, scholar, that I will, and I will hide nothing from 

 you that I can remember, and can think may help you forward 

 towards a perfection in this art. And because we have so much 

 time, and I have said so little of roach and dace, I will give you 

 some directions concerning them.
