fN genial Spring, beneath the quivering (hade,
Where cooling vapours breathe along the mead,
The patient fifher takes his silent stand,
Intent, his angle trembling in his hand ;
With looks unmov'd, he hopes the <caly breed,
And eyes the dancing cork and bending reed.
Our plenteous streams a various race supply:
The bright-ey'd Pearch, with fins of Tyrian dye;
The diver Eel, in Aiming volumes rolled;
The yellow Carp, in scales bedrop'd with gold ;
Swift Trouts, diverfify'd with crimson slams,
And Pekes, the tyrants of the wat'ry plains. Pope.

sed to be pieced in the heels with a (tocking of another
colour, flioes almost worn out, and odd buckles, a home
made linen shirt, an old beaver round hat with a blue
ribbon and a bucks tail in it; it is supposed his great
fondnefs for fifing has induced him to go off, having

Maryland, to engage himfelf in that way as he has taken

seen between the lower ferry and Darby, and a person
that an fwers his description was seen behind a carriage

(hallopmen and others will not take him on board as they
