In due praise of this Praise-worthy Skill and Worke.
IN skils that all doeseeke, but few doe finde,Both gaine and game; (like Sunne and Moone doe shine,Then th' Art of Fishing thus, is of that kinde;The Angler taketh both with Hooke and Line.And as, with Lines, both these he takes; this takes,With many a Line, well made, both Eares and Harts,And, by this skill, the skill-lesse skill-full makes:The Corpes whereof discected so he parts,Vpon an humble Subiect neuer layMore proude, yet plainer Lines, the plaine to leade,This playner Art with pleasure to suruay,To purchase it, with profit, by that DEED:Who thinke this skill's too low than, for the high,This Angler reade, and they'l be tane thereby.
Io. Dauies.
