Pagina 273 - With yielding hand, That feels him still, yet to his furious course Gives way, you, now retiring, following now Across the stream, exhaust his idle rage ; Till, floating broad upon his breathless side, And to his fate abandon'd, to the shore You gaily drag your unresisting prize.
Pagina 333 - But crystal currents glide within their bounds ; The finny brood their wonted haunts forsake, Float in the sun, and skim along the lake; With frequent leap they range the shallow streams. Their silver coats reflect the dazzling beams. Now let the fisherman his toil s prepare, And arm himself with ev'ry watery snare ; His hooks, his lines, peruse with careful eye. Increase his tackle, and his rod re-tie.
Pagina 269 - To frame the little animal, provide All the gay hues that wait on female pride : Let Nature guide thee ; sometimes golden wire The shining bellies of the fly require ; The peacock's plumes thy tackle must not fail, Nor the dear purchase of the sable's tail. Each gaudy hird some slender tribute brings, And lends the growing insect proper wings : Silks of all colours must their aid impart, And every fur promote the fisher's art.
Pagina 252 - Nor trowl for pikes, dispeoplers of the lake. Around the steel no tortur'd worm shall twine, No blood of living insect stain my line : Let me, less cruel, cast the feather'd hook With pliant rod athwart the pebbled brook, Silent along the mazy margin stray, And with the fur-wrought fly delude the prey.
Pagina 35 - Where cooling vapours breathe along the mead. The patient fisher takes his silent stand, Intent, his angle trembling in his hand : With looks unmov'd, he hopes the scaly breed, And eyes the dancing cork and bending reed.
Pagina 273 - Trees, the Monarch of the Brook, Behoves you then to ply your finest Art. Long time he, following cautious, scans the Fly; And oft attempts to seize it, but as oft The dimpled Water speaks his jealous Fear. At last, while haply o'er the shaded Sun Passes a Cloud, he desperate takes the Death, With sullen Plunge. At once he darts along, Deep-struck, and runs out all the lengthen'd Line; Then seeks the farthest Ooze, the sheltering Weed, The cavern'd Bank, his old secure Abode; And flies aloft, and...
Pagina 156 - As though within her bounds they meant her to inclose; Here, when the labouring fish does at the foot arrive, And finds that by his strength he does but vainly strive, His tail takes in his mouth, + and, bending like a bow That's to full compass drawn, aloft himself doth throw; Then springing at his height, as doth a little wand That, bended end to end, and started from man's hand, Far off itself doth cast ; so does the salmon vault...
Pagina 270 - ... fail, Nor the dear purchase of the sable's tail. Each gaudy bird some slender tribute brings, And lends the growing insect proper wings : Silks of all colours must their aid impart, And every fur promote the fisher's art So the gay lady, with expensive care, Borrows the pride of land, of sea, and air ; Furs, pearls, and plumes, the glittering thing displays, Dazzles our eyes, and easy hearts betrays.
Pagina 115 - The Nersling or Rudd, The Rudd, a kind of Roach, all tinged with gold, Strong, broad, and thick, most lovely to behold. The Rudd is a very indifferent Fish for the table, as the flesh is soft and full of bones : in shape and colour it is much like the Roach, but broader : the body and gills are tinged and bronzed with gold : the belly, fins, and tail, are a bright red, or vermilion, the eye more yellow than the Roach.
Pagina 353 - That in case any person or persons shall take, kill or destroy, or attempt to take, kill or destroy, any fish in any river or stream, pond, pool, or other water (not being in any park or paddock, or in any garden, orchard or yard adjoining or belonging to any dwelling-house, but...
