minds�察�embroider'd Trains�察�Merely but pageants for proud swelling veins�察�

And   Blood   allied   to   greatness   is   alone   Inherited�察  �not   purchas'd�察  �nor   our 

own。   Fame�察  �Honour�察  �Beauty�察  �State�察  �Train�察  �Blood   and   Birth�察�Are   but   the 

fading blossoms of the earth。 

     I would be great�察�but that the sun doth still Level his rays against the 

rising hill�此�I would be high�察�but see the proudest oak Most subject to the 

rending thunder´stroke�此�I would be rich�察�but see men�察�too unkind Dig in 

the bowels of the richest mind�此�I would be wise�察�but that I often see The 

fox suspected�察�whilst the ass goes free�此�I would be fair�察�but see the fair and 

proud�察  �Like   the   bright   sun�察  �oft   setting   in   a   cloud�此  �I   would   be   poor�察  �but 

know   the   humble   grass   Still   trampled   on   by   each   unworthy   ass�此  �Rich�察�

rich�察�wise�察�nor fair�此�poor I'll be rather。 

     Would   the World   now   adopt   me   for   her   heir�察�Would   beauty's   Queen 

entitle me the fair�察�Fame speak me fortune's minion�察�could I ; vie Angels ; 

with India with a speaking eye Command bare heads�察�bow'd knees�察�strike 

justice dumb�察�As   well   as blind   and   lame�察 �or   give   a tongue To   stones   by 

epitaphs�察�be call'd ; great master ; In the loose rhymes of every poetaster �拭�

Could   I   be   more   than   any   man   that   lives�察  �Great�察  �fair�察  �rich   wise�察  �all   in 

superlatives�察�Yet I more freely would these gifts resign Than ever fortune 

would   have   made   them   mine。 And   hold   one   minute   of   this   holy   leisure 

Beyond the riches of this empty pleasure。 

     Welcome�察  �pure   thoughts�察  �welcome�察           �ye   silent   groves�察  �These   guests�察�

shall   sing   My   cheerful   anthems   to   the   gladsome   spring�此  �A  pray'r´book�察�

now�察�shall be my looking´glass�察�In which I will adore sweet virtue's face。 

Here dwell no hateful looks�察�no palace cares�察�No broken vows dwell here�察�

nor pale´fac'd fears�察�Then here I'll sit�察�and sigh my hot love's folly�察�And 

learn t' affect an holy melancholy�此�And if contentment be a stranger then�察�

I'll ne'er look for it�察�but in heaven�察�again。 

     Venator。 Well�察�Master�察�these verses be worthy to keep a room in every 

man's   memory。   I   thank   you   for   them�察  �and   I   thank   you   for   your   many 

instructions�察�which�察�God willing�察�I will not forget。 And as St。 Austin�察�in his

Confessions�察  �commemorates   the   kindness   of   his   friend   Verecundus�察  �for 

lending him and his companion a country house�察�because there they rested 

and   enjoyed   themselves�察  �free   from  the  troubles   of   the   world�察 �so�察 �having 

had   the   like   advantage�察 �both   by   your   conversation   and   the   art   you   have 

taught   me�察  �I   ought   ever   to   do   the   like�察  �for�察  �indeed�察  �your   company   and 

discourse have been so useful and pleasant�察�that�察�I may truly say�察�I have 

only     lived   since   I  enjoyed     them    and    turned    angler�察  �and    not   before。 

Nevertheless�察�here I must part with you�察�here in this now sad place�察�where 

I was so happy as first to meet you�此�but I shall long for the ninth of May�察�

for   then   I   hope   again   to   enjoy   your   beloved   company�察  �at   the   appointed 

time and place。 And now I wish for some somniferous potion�察�that might 

force me to sleep away the intermitted time�察�which will pass away with me 

as tediously as it does with men in sorrow�察�nevertheless I will make it as 

short as I can�察�by my hopes and wishes�此�and�察�my good Master�察�I will not 

forget   the   doctrine   which   you   told   me   Socrates   taught   his   scholars�察  �that 

they should not think to be honoured so much for being philosophers�察�as to 

honour   philosophy   by   their   virtuous   lives。   You   advised   me   to   the   like 

concerning Angling�察�and I will endeavour to do so�察�and to live like those 

many worthy men�察�of which you made mention in the former part of your 

discourse。   This   is   my   firm   resolution。   And   as   a   pious   man   advised   his 

friend�察�that�察�to beget mortification�察�he should frequent churches�察�and view 

monuments�察 �and   charnel´houses�察  �and   then   and   there  consider  how   many 

dead bodies time had piled up at the gates of death�察�so when I would beget 

content�察     �and    increase     confidence      in   the   power�察    �and    wisdom�察     �and 

providence of Almighty God�察�I will walk the meadows�察�by some gliding 

stream�察�and there contemplate the lilies that take no care�察�and those very 

many other various little living creatures that are not only created�察�but fed�察�

man knows not how�察�by the goodness of the God of Nature�察�and therefore 

trust in   him。 This is my  purpose�察  �and so�察�let   everything that hath   breath 

praise the Lord�此�and let the blessing of St。 Peter's Master be with mine。 

     Piscator And   upon   all   that   are  lovers   of   virtue�察  �and   dare   trust   in   his 

providence�察�and be quiet�察�and go a Angling。 

     ;Study to be quiet。;
