himself�察  �as   others do�察  �with   any  one   certain   place   for   his   abode�察  �nor   any 

certain     kind   of   herb   or   flower    for  his   feeding�察   �but   will   boldly    and 

disorderly wander up and down�察�and not endure to be kept to a diet�察�or fixt

     Nay�察  �the   very   colours   of   caterpillars   are�察  �as   one   has   observed�察  �very 

elegant and beautiful I shall�察�for a taste of the rest�察�describe one of them�察�

which I will�察�some time the next month�察�shew you feeding on a willow´ 

tree�察�and you shall find him punctually to answer this very description�此�his 

lips and mouth somewhat yellow�察�his eyes black as jet�察�his forehead purple�察�

his feet and hinder parts green�察�his tail two´forked and black�察�the whole 

body   stained   with   a   kind   of   red   spots�察  �which   run   along   the   neck   and 

shoulder´blade�察�not unlike the form of St。 Andrew's cross�察�or the letter X�察�

made thus crosswise�察�and a white line drawn down his back to his tail�察�all 

which add much beauty to his whole body。 And it is to me observable�察�that 

at a fixed age this caterpillar gives over to eat�察�and towards winter comes 

to be covered over with a strange shell or crust�察�called an aurelia�察�and so

lives   a   kind of   dead   life�察 �without   eating   all the   winter。 And   as   others   of 

several   kinds   turn   to   be   several   kinds   of   flies   and   vermin�察  �the   Spring 

following�察�so this caterpillar then turns to be a painted butterfly。 

     Come�察�come�察  �my  scholar�察 �you   see   the   river   stops   our   morning   walk�此�

and   I   will   also   here   stop   my   discourse�此  �only   as   we   sit   down   under   this 

honeysuckle hedge�察�whilst I look a line to fit the rod that our brother Peter 

hath lent you�察�I shall�察�for a little confirmation of what I have said�察�repeat 

the observation of Du Bartas�此�

     God�察  �not   contented       to   each   kind  to   give   And   to  infuse   the   virtue 

generative�察�Made�察�by his wisdom�察�many creatures breed Of lifeless bodies。 

without Venus' deed。 

     So�察�the cold humour breeds the Salamander�察�Who�察�in effect�察�like to her 

birth's    commander�察      �With    child    with   hundred     winters�察   �with    her   touch 

Quencheth the fire�察�tho'glowing ne'er so much。 

     So   of   the   fire�察  �in burning   furnace�察  �springs The   fly  Pyrausta   with   the 

flaming wings�此�Without the fire�察�it dies�此�within it joys�察�Living in that which 

each shine else destroys。 

     So�察�slow Bo �t es underneath him sees In th' icy isles those goslings 

hatch'd of trees�察�Whose fruitful leaves�察�falling into the water�察�Are turn'd�察�

they say�察�to living fowls soon after。 

     So�察    �rotten   sides    of   broken      ships    do   change      To   barnacles。      O 

transformation strange� �'Twas first a green tree�察�then�察�a gallant hull�察�Lately 

a mushroom�察�now�察�a flying gull。 

     Venator。 O my good master�察�this morning´walk has been spent to my 

great pleasure and wonder�此�but�察�I pray�察�when shall I have your direction 

how  to   make   artificial   flies�察  �like to   those  that   the Trout   loves   best�察  �and�察�

also�察�how to use them �拭�

     Piscator。 My honest scholar�察�it is now past five of the clock�此�we will 

fish till nine�察�and then go to breakfast。 Go you to yonder sycamore´tree�察�

and   hide   your bottle   of  drink   under  the hollow  root   of it�察  �for  about   that 

time�察  �and   in   that   place�察  �we   will   make   a   brave   breakfast   with   a   piece   of 

powdered beef�察�and a radish or two�察�that I have in my fish bag�此�we shall�察�I 

warrant   you�察  �make   a   good�察  �honest�察  �wholesome   hungry   breakfast。 And   I 

will then give you direction for the making and using of your flies�此�and in

the meantime�察�there is your rod and line�察�and my advice is�察�that you fish as 

you see me do�察�and let's try which can catch the first fish。 

     Venator。 I thank you�察�master。 I will observe and practice your direction 

as far as I am able。 

     Piscator。 Look you�察�scholar�察�you see I have hold of a good fish�此�I now 

see it is a Trout。 I pray�察�put that net under him�察�and touch not my line�察�for 

if you do�察�then we break all。 Well done�察�scholar�此�I thank you。 

     Now for another。 Trust me�察�I have another bite。 Come�察�scholar�察�come 

lay down your rod�察�and help me to land this as you did the other。 So now 

we shall be sure to have a good dish of fish for supper。 

     Venator。 I am glad of that�此�but I have no fortune�此�sure�察�master�察�yours is 

a better rod and better tackling。 

     Piscator。 Nay�察�then�察�take mine�察�and I will fish with yours。 Look you�察�

scholar�察�I have another。 Come�察�do as you did before。 And now I have a bite 

at another。 Oh me�         �he has broke all�此�there's half a line and a good hook 

lost。 

     Venator。 Ay�察�and a good Trout too。 

     Piscator。 Nay�察�the Trout is not lost�察�for pray take notice�察�no man can 

lose what he never had。 

     Venator。 Master�察�I can neither catch with the first nor second angle�此�I 

have no fortune。 

     Piscator。    Look    you�察  �scholar�察  �I  have   yet   another。   And    now�察  �having 

caught three brace of Trouts�察�I will tell you a short tale as we walk towards 

our   breakfast。 A  scholar�察  �a   preacher   I   should   say�察  �that   was   to   preach   to 

procure the approbation of a parish that he might be their lecturer�察�had got 

from his   fellow´pupil the   copy of   a sermon   that was   first preached  with 

great commendation by him that composed it�此�and though the borrower of 

it preached it�察�word for word�察�as it was at first�察�yet it was utterly disliked as 

it   was   preached   by   the   second   to   his   congregation�察  �which   the   sermon´ 

borrower complained of to the lender of it�此�and was thus answered�此 ─�I lent 

you�察�indeed�察�my fiddle�察�but not my fiddle´stick�察�for you are to know�察�that 

every  one   cannot   make   musick   with   my  words�察  �which   are   fitted   for   my 

own     mouth;。     And    so�察 �my    scholar�察  �you    are  to   know�察   �that  as   the  ill 

pronunciation   or   ill   accenting   of   words   in   a   sermon   spoils   it�察  �so   the   ill

carriage of your line�察�or not fishing even to a foot in a right place�察�makes 

you lose your labour�此�and you are to know�察�that though you have my fiddle�察�

that is�察�my very rod and tacklings with which you see I catch fish�察�yet you 

have not my fiddle´stick�察 �that is�察�you   yet have not skill to know how  to 

carry your hand and line�察�nor how to guide it to a right place�此�and this must 

be taught you�察�for you are to remember�察�I told you Angling is an art�察�either 

by practice or a long observation�察�or both。 But take this for a rule�察�When 

you fish for a Trout with a worm�察�let your line have so much�察�and not more 

lead than   will   fit   the stream in   which   you   fish�察  �that is   to   say�察  �more  in   a 

great troublesome stream than in a smaller that is quieter�察�as near as may 

be�察�so much as will sink the bait to the bottom�察�and keep it still in motion�察�

and not more。 

     But now�察�let's say grace�察�and fall to breakfast。 What say you�察�scholar�察�

to the providence of an old angler �拭�Does not this meat taste well�拭�and was 

not this place well chosen to eat it�拭�for this sycamore´tree will shade us 

from the sun's heat。 

     Venator。 All excellent good�察�and my stomach excellent good�察�too。 And 

now I remember�察�and find that true which devout Lessius says�察 ─�that poor 

men�察  �and   those   that   fast   often�察  �have   much   more   pleasure   in   eating   than 

rich men�察�and gluttons�察�that always feed before their stomachs are empty 

of their last meat and call for more�察�for by that means they rob themselves 

of   that   pleasure   that   hunger   brings   to   poor   men;。   And   I   do   seriously 

approve   of   that   saying   of   yours�察   ─  �that   you   had   rather   be   a   civil�察  �well´ 

governed�察 �well´grounded�察  �temperate�察  �poor angler�察  �than   a drunken   lord   ;�此�

but I hope there is none such。 However�察�I am certain of this�察�that I have 

been    at   many   very   costly   dinners     that   have   not  afforded   me   half    the 

content that this has done�察�for which I thank God and you。 

     And now�察�good master�察�proceed to your promised direction for making 

and ordering my artificial fly。 

     Piscator。 My honest scholar�察�I will do it�察�for it is a debt due unto you 

by my promise。 And because you shall not think yourself more engaged to 

me   than   indeed   you   really  are�察  �I   will   freely  give   you   such   directions   as 

were lately given to me by  an ingenious   brother of the angle�察�an honest 

man�察�and a most excellent fly´fisher。

     You are to note�察�that there are twelve kinds of artificial made Flies�察�to 

angle   with   upon   the   top   of   the   water。   Note�察  �by   the   way�察  �that   the   fittest 

season of using these is in a blustering windy day�察�when the waters are so 

troubled that the natural fly cannot be seen�察�or rest upon them。 The first is 

the dun´fly�察  �in   March�此  �the body  is   made   of   dun   wool�察  �the   wings�察  �of   the 

partridge's feathers。 The second is another dun´fly�此�the body�察�of black wool�察�

and the wings made of the black drake's feathers�察�and of the feathers under 

his tail。 The third is the stone´fly�察�in April�此�the body is made of black wool�察�

made yellow under the wings and under the tail�察�and so made with wings 

of   the   drake。   The   fourth   is   the   ruddy´fly�察  �in   the   beginning   of   May�此  �the 

body made of red wool�察�wrapt about with black silk�察�and the feathers are 

the wings of the drake�察�with the feathers of a red capon also�察�which hang 

dangling on his sides next to the tail。 The fifth is the yellow or greenish fly�察�

in May likewise�此�the body made of yellow wool�察�and the wings made of 

the red cock's hackle or tail。 The sixth is the black´fly�察�in May also�此�the 

body made of black wool�察�and lapt about with the herle of a peacock's tail�此�

the wings are made of the wings of a brown capon�察�with his blue feathers 

in his head。 The seventh is the sad yellow´fly in June�此�the body is made of 

black wool�察�with a yellow list on either side�察�and the wings taken off the 

wings   of   a   buzzard�察  �bound   with   black   braked   hemp。   The   eighth   is   the 

moorish´fly�察�made�察�with the body�察�of duskish wool�察�and the wings made of 

the   blackish   mail   of   the   dr
