    When if or chance or hunger's powerful sway
    Directs the roving trout this fatal way,
    He greedily sucks in the twining bait,
    And tugs and nibbles the fallacious meat.
    Now, happy fisherman; now twitch the line!
    How thy rod bends! behold, the prize is thine!

With fishing can compare.

The man that weds for greedy wealth,

But often times he gets a frog,

The first men that our Saviour dear
Did choose to wait upon Him here,
Blest fishers were; and fish the last
Food was, that He on earth did taste:
I therefore strive to follow those,
Whom He to follow Him hath chose.
