OF all the Recreations which attend on humane Nature, There's nothing sores so high a pitch, Or is of such a Stature, As is a subtle Anglers life, in all mens Approbation: For Anglers tricks, do daily mix, with every Corporation. When Eve and Adam liv'd by love, and had no cause for Jangling, The Devil did the Waters move, the Serpent fell to Angling: He baits his hook with God-like look. quoth he, this will intangle her, The Woman chops, and down she drops the Devil was first an Angler.
Physitians, Lawyers, and Divines, are most ingenious Janglers, And he that trys, shall find in fine, that all of them are Anglers: Whilst grave Divines do fish for souls, Physitians, like Cormudgeons, Do bait with Health, to fish for Wealth and Lawyers fish for Gudgeons. A Polititian too, is One, concern'd in Piscatory, He Writes & Fights, Unites & Slights, to purchase Wealth and Glory; His Plumets sounds, the Kingdoms Bounds to make the Fishes Nibble, He draws em with a Paste of Lyes, and he blinds them with the Bible. The second part to the same Tune.
A Fisherman subdued a Place in spight of Locks and Staples, The Warlike Massinello was a Fisherman of Naples, Commanded forty thousand Men, and prov'd a Royal Wrangler: You ne'r shall see the like agen, of such a famous Angler. Upon the Exchange 'twixt Twelve and One meets many a neat Intangler; Most Merchant-men, not one in ten, but is a cunning Angler, And (like the Fishes in the Brook,) Brother doth fish for Brother; A golden Bait hangs at the Hook, and they fish for one another, A Shopkeeper I next prefer, a Formal Man in black, sir, That throws his Angle everywhere, and cries, What is't you lack, sir, Fine Silks & Stuffs, or Hoods & Muffs, but if a Courtier prove the Intangler My Citizen must look to't then, or the Fish will catch the Angler. A Lover is an Angler too, and baits his Hook with Kisses, He plays and toys, and fain would do, but oftentimes he misses:
He gives her Rings, & such like things as Fan or Muff, or Night-hood, But if you'l cheat, a City-Peat, you must bait her with a Knighthood? There is no Angler like a Wench, stark naked in the Water, She'l make you leave both Trout and Tench and throw yourself in after: Your Hook and Line, she will confine, the Intangled is the Intangler; And this I fear, hath spoyl'd the Ware, of many a jovial Angler. If you will trowl, for a Scriveners soul cast in a rich young Gallant; To take a Courtier by the powl, throw out a golden Tallent, And yet I doubt, the draught will not Compound for half the charge on't, But if you'l catch, the Devil at a snatch go bait him with a Serjeant. Thus have I made, the Anglers Trade, to stand above defiance, For like the Mathematick Art, it runs through every Science, If with my Angling song I can with Mirth and Pleasure seize ye, Ile bait my Hook with Wit again, and Angle still to please ye.
