    A rod twelve feet long and a ring of wire,
    A winder and barrel, will help thy desire
    In killing a Pike; but the forked stick,
    With a slit and a bladder,--and that other fine trick,
    Which our artists call snap, with a goose or a duck,--
    Will kill two for one, if you have any luck;
    The gentry of Shropshire do merrily smile,
    To see a goose and a belt the fish to beguile;
    When a Pike suns himselfe and a-frogging doth go,
    The two-inched hook is better, I know,
    Than the ord'nary snaring: but still I must cry,
    When the Pike is at home, minde the cookery.

There is only one theory about angling in which I have perfect

any statement, about it, are the words "always" and "never."

For angling-rod he took a sturdy oak;
For line, a cable that in storm ne'er broke;
His hook was such as heads the end of pole
To pluck down house ere fire consumes it whole;
This hook was bated with a dragon's tail,--
And then on rock he stood to bob for whale.
