Excerpt from Rod-Fishing in Clear Waters, by Fly, Minnow, and Worm: With a Short and Easy Method to the Art of Dressing Flies Then let him go to river, brook, or lake, That loves the sport, where store of fish abound, And through the pleasant fields his journey make, Amidst sweet pastures, meadows, fresh and sound, Where he may best his choice of pastime take, While swift Hyperion runs his circle round; And as the place shall to his liking prove, There still remain or further else remove.
