cxxviii LIFE OF IZAAK WALTON. 



' Candida semper 

 Gaudia, et in vulcu curarum ignara voluptas.'" 



The cento of Walton's praises would not be complete without 

 an allusion to the glowing descriptions of his merits, which occur 

 in the edition of Pope's Works, as well as in the Life of Bishop 

 Ken, by the Rev. William Lisle Bowles, whose genius and 

 goodness alike give value to his eulogy. If the gentle spirit of 

 "honest Izaak" is permitted to know by whom his memory is 

 cherished, it has derived the highest gratification from the tributes 

 paid to his virtues by the Rector of BremhiU, the friend of his 

 descendant, and from congenial feelings, the warm admirer of the 

 talents, piety, and moral excellence, for which Izaak Walton 

 was distinguished.
