SALMONIA. 



[NINTH DAY. 



ninety years and upwards, yet, I hope, as long as 

 I can enjoy in a vernal day the warmth and light 

 of the sunbeams, still to haunt the streams following 

 the example of our late venerable friend, the president 

 of the Royal Academy,* in company with whom, 

 when he was an octogenarian, I have thrown the fly, 

 caught trout, and enjoyed a delightful day of angling 

 and social amusement, in the shady green meadows 

 by the bright clear streams of the Wandle.
