224 CONCLUDING REMAUKS. 



All covered with a smarting baite, 

 Alas! to tempt thee to thy fate, 

 And dragge thee from the brooke. 



harmless tenant of the flood, 



1 do not wish to spill thy blood ; 



For Nature unto thee 

 Perchance has given a tender wife, 

 And children dear, to charme thy life, 



As she hath done to me. 



Enjoy thy streame, O harmless fish, 

 And when an Angler, for his dish. 



Through Gluttouey's vile sin 

 Attempts a wretch to pull thee out, 

 God give thee strength, O gentle Trout, 



To pull the rascall in ! DR. WOLCOTF
