\ 17 ELL met, Brother Peter ! I heard you and a friend 

 ^ * would lodge here to-night, and that hath made me to 

 bring my friend to lodge here too. My friend is one that 

 would fain be a Brother of the Angle : he hath been an Angler 

 but this day, and I have taught him how to catch a Chub by 

 daping with a grasshopper ; and the Chub he caught was a 

 lusty one of nineteen inches long. But pray, Brother Peter, 

 who is your companion ? 



PETER. Brother Piscator, my friend is an honest Country- 

 man, and his name is Coridon, and he is a downright witty 

 companion, that met me here purposely to be pleasant and eat 

 a Trout ; and I have not yet wetted my line since we met to- 

 gether : but I hope to fit him with a Trout for his breakfast, 

 for I '11 be early up. 



Pise. Nay, brother, you shall not stay so long : for, look 

 you ! here is a TROUT will fix six reasonable bellies. 



Come, Hostess, dress it presently, and get us what other 

 meat the house will afford, and give *s ^.'we of your best bar-
