[Contains (vol. i, pp. 187-219), a poem entitled "Rural sports, 

 descriptive and elegiac, in three parts," of which the first treats of 

 angling, the second of fowling, and the third of hare-hunting. 



We may quote " Angling," which contains 58 verses, when the 

 "angry muse" condemns the worm-fisher : 



" Think, angler, what excruciating smart, 



The harmless victim, unappris'd, must feel, 

 When, close adherent to its bleeding heart, 



Remorseless forth is torn the pointed steel." 



In " Hare-hunting," the presence of a lady again rouses the 

 poet's ire : 



"Can gentle love inspire that sturdy heart, 



Which for the chace with awkward ardour pants ? 

 To be pursu'd be still the woman's part, 



If wishing to be something more than aunts/']
