" At this season the angler prepares for the field: " Now let the fisherman his toils prepare, And arm himself with every watery snare; His hooks, his lines peruse with careful eye, Increase his tackle, and his rod retie. " All being prepared he betakes himself to a brook, and: THE ENGLISH FISHER IDYLLS 189 " Far up the stream the twisted hair he throws, Which down the murmuring current gently flows ; When, if or chance or hunger's powerful sway Directs the roving trout this fatal way, He greed...ily sucks in the twining bait, And tugs and nibbles the fallacious meat ! " A struggle royal ensues : " How thy rod bends ; behold, the prize is thine ! Cast on the bank, he dies with gasping pains, And trickling blood his silver mail distains. " After this picture Gay gives exact and Walton- esque instructions about the preparation of the various sorts of live bait and the circumstances under which they should be used. Turning then to angling in shallow rivers in sunny weather, he enumerates the steps to be followed in the prep- aration of artificial flies: " To frame the little animal, provide All the gay hues that wait on female pride.
