Library of the world's best literature, ancient and modern . suggested < The Compleat Angler* of Izaak Walton, which appearedone hundred and sixty years Juliana Berners JULIANA BERNERS , 1835 HERE BEGYNNYTHThe Treatvsk ok Fysshyngk wyth an Angle SALOMON in his parablys sayth that a glad spyryte makyth aflourynge aege, that is a fayre aege and a longe. And sythit is soo: I aske this questyon, whiche ben the meanes andthe causes that enduce a man in to a mery spyryte: Truly to mybeste dyscrecon it seemeth good dysportes and honest gamys inAvhom a man Joyeth without any repentaunce after. Thenne folowyth it yt gode dysportes and honest games ben•cause of mannys fayr aege and longe life. And therefore nowwoll I chose of foure good disportes and honest gamys, that is towyte: of huntynge: hawkynge: fysshynge: and foulynge. Thebest to my symple dyscrecon whyche is fysshynge: called Ang-lynge wyth a rodde: and a lyne and an hoke. And thereof totreate as my symple wytte may suffyce: both for the said reasonof Salomon and also for the reason that phisyk makyth in thiswyse.
