ANGLING AUTHORS

BY W. J. TURRELL

“Fishing, if I a fisher may protest,
Of pleasures is the sweet'st, of sports the best,
Of exercises the most excellent.
Of recreations the most innocent.
But now the sport is marde, and wott ye why?
Fishes decrease, and fishers multiply.”

Chrestoleros, THOMAS BASTARD, 1598.
