Wo care not who says, 
And intends it dispruisc, 
That an angler to a fool is next neighbor: 
L^t him prate — what care we ? 
We’re os honest as he ; 
And so let him take that for his labor. 
We covet no wealth, 
But the blessing of lienlth, 
And that greater good conscience within os. 
Such devotion we bring 
To our God and our King, 
That from either no offers can win us. 
While we sit and fish, 
We pray as wo wish 
For long life to our King, James the Second: 
Honest anglers then may, 
Or they ’ve very foul play, 
With the bost of good subjects be reckon’d. 
Having commenced with the Rod, and finally wormed 
through all the articles necessary to the equipment of the 
complete Angler, it will be proper in our next chapter, to 
make some observations on the practice of angling.
