Complete Angler. 121 



And let me tell you, this kind of 

 fifhing,and lay ing Night-hooks, are 

 like putting money to ufe , for 

 they both work for die Owners, 

 when they do nothing but ileep, or 

 eat,or rejoice, as you know we have 

 done this laft hour, and fate as qui- 

 etly and as free from cares under this 

 Sycamore, ^J^irgils < Tityrus^\d his 

 Me/tfausdid under their brozdBeecb 

 tree : No life, my honeft Scholer, 

 no life fo happy and fo pleafant as 

 the Anglers, unlefs it be the Beggers 

 life in Summer ; for then only 

 they take no care, but are as happy 

 as we Anglers. 



Viat. Indeed Mafter, and fo they 

 be, as is witneffed by the beggers 

 Song, made long iince by Frank 

 Davifon, a good Poet, who was 

 not aBegger,thoughhe were a good 

 Poet. 



Fife. Can you ling it,Scholer? 



Viat. Sit down a little, good Ma- 

 fter,and I wii try.
