CONCLUDING REMARKS. 
All covered with a smarting baito, 
Alas! to tempt thee to thy futc, 
And draggo thoc from the brookc. 
0 harmless tenant of the flood, 
1 do not wish to spill thy blood ; 
For Nature unto tlico 
Perchance has given a tender wife, 
And children dear, to charmc thy life, 
As she hath done to me. 
Enjoy thy streams, 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 roscoll in ! Da. Wolcott
