Sidney (Sir Philip). The Countesse of Pembrokes Arcadia. 

 London, for W. Ponsonbie, 1590. 4. 



[ The first of many editions. It contains the following passage: 



" But Telmane failed not to notice them all many times abroad, 

 because she was desirous her friend Musidorus (neere whom of pur- 

 pose she led them) might have full sight of them. Sometimes 

 angling to a little river neere hand, which, for the moisture it be- 

 stowed upon roots of some flourishing trees, was rewarded with 

 their shadow. There would they sit downe, and prety wagers be 

 made between Pamelia and Philoclea, which would soonest beguile 

 silly fishes, while Telmane protested that the fit prey for them was 

 hearts of Princes. She also had an angle in her hand ; but the 

 taker was so taken, that she had forgotten taking. Basilias, in the 

 meanetime, would be the Cooke himself of what was so caught, 

 and Gynecia sit still, but with no still pensiveness." 



By which we are shown that Sir Philip Sidney considered the 

 sport of angling as worthy of being included amongst the perfec- 

 tions of Arcadian pastimes. Also, it gives us a new motto for 

 Piscator Et in Arcadia ego. 



Cotton, in his second part of the " Compleat angler," cites the 

 Arcadia, but not the above passage.]
