[ Drayton's poems contain many allusions to fish and fishing. In 

 the 6th,' 25th, and 26th songs of the " Polyolbion," for instance; in 

 his " Shepherd's Serena ; " his 7th " Eclogue," and his 6th " Nym- 

 phal." The latter has never been included in 'the long list of sup- 

 posed ante-types of Walton's "Compleat Angler," and yet the 

 subject of it is a discussion between a woodman, a fisherman and a 

 shepherd, respecting the superior merits of the vocation of each. 



Lamb eulogises Drayton affectionately as the panegyrist of his 

 native earth, " who has" gone over her soil (in his Polyolbion ) with 

 the fidelity of a herald, "and the painful love of a son, who has not 

 left a rivulet (so narrow that it may be stept over) without honour- 

 able mention, and has animated hills and streams with life and pas- 

 sion above the dreams of old mythology." The first edition of the 

 "Polyolbion" appeared in 1613.]

[ If Piscator be Waltonian, in the enthusiastic sense, he will not 

 fail to include the above in his collection. Josuah Sylvester, in his 

 time, was called the " silver tongued," but his fame has a little faded 

 with the years. The fifth day of the "Diuine weekes and workes " 

 of Du Bartas records the creation of sea and river fish, in the cata- 

 logue of which we find some oddities the " Whirl-about," for 

 instance, the " Physeter," and the " Smell-strong-many-foot."]
