With our lines & hooks


Discoursing onward with our lines & hooks 
With some refreshments nor without some books 
Cheerd by the rural objects as we pass 
To were trees shadows keepeth green the grass 
Checking intrusions of the summer suns 
There drop us down close were the river runs 
In sight of rural sounds & pleasing strife 
That warms the laughing landscape into life 
& while in cheerfull mirth as we prepare 
Our sporting things & bait our angles there 
With flye or fish of artificial forms 
To shun the anguish of the wreathing worms 
Feel warm hopes glow with earnest eagerness 
To mark the signs that promise us success
