CHAPTER. V. 



MORE DIRECTIONS HOW TO PISH FOR, AND HOW TO MAKE FOR THE TROUT' 

 AN ARTIFICIAL MINNOW AND FLIES J WITH SOME MERRIMENT. 



Pise. WELL met, brother Peter ! I heard you and a friend 

 would lodge here to-night ; and that hath made me to bring* 

 my friend to lodge here too. My friend is one that would 

 fain be a brother of the angle : he hath been an angler but 

 this day ; and I have taught him how to catch a chub by 

 daping l with a grasshopper ; and the chub he caught was a 

 lusty one of nineteen inches long. But pray, brother Peter ! 

 who is your companion ? 



Peter. Brother Piscator ! my friend is an honest country- 

 man, and his name is Coridon : and he is a downright witty 

 companion, that met me here purposely to be pleasant an*d 

 eat a trout ; and I have not wetted my line since we met 

 together : but I hope to fit him with a trout for his break- 

 fast ; for I'll be early up. 



Pise. Nay, brother ! you shall not stay so long ; for, look 

 you ! here is a trout will fill six reasonable bellies. 



The Trout.
