HALIEUS POIETES ORNITHER 

 PHYSICUS. 



TROUT FISHING. DENHAM, MAY, 1810. 

 Morning. 



HAL. I AM delighted to see you, my wor- 

 thy friends, on the banks of the Colne ; and 

 am happy to be able to say, that my excel- 

 lent host has not only made you free of the 

 river for this day's angling, but insists upon 

 your dining with him, wishes you to try 

 the evening fishing, and the fishing to-mor- 

 row morning, and proposes to you, in 

 short, to give up twenty-four hours to the 

 delights of an angler's May-day. 



POIET. We are deeply indebted to him ; 

 and I hardly know how we can accept his 

 offer, without laying ourselves under too 

 great an obligation.
