Well fayre the plesure that bringes such treasure Hold hooke and line then all is mine

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 Aprobation : For Anglers tricks , do daily mix , with every Corporation . When Eve and Adam liv'd by love , and had no cause for Iangling , 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 Ianglers ; And he that tryes , shall find in fine that all of them are Anglers : Whilst grave Divines doe 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 Writs , and Fights , Vnits & Slights to Purchase Wealth , and Glory ; His Plumets Sounds , the Kingdoms Bounds to make the Fishes Nibble ; He draws 'em with a Past of Lyes , and he blinds them with the Bible .
The second Part , to the same Tune .

Here be your new Fashions Mistris .

A Fisher-man Subdued a Place in spight of Locks and Staples , The Warlike Massianello was a Fisher-man of Naples , Commanded forty thousand Men , and prov'd a Royal Wrangler : You ne're shall sée the like agen , of such a famous Angler . Vpon the Exchange , 'twixt twelve & one méets many a neat intangler ; Most Merchant-men , not one in ten but is a cunning Angler , And ( like the Fishes in the Brooke , ) Brother doth fish for Brother ; A golden Bait hangs at the Hooke , and they Fish for one another . A Shop-kéeper I next preferr , a Formal Man in black , sir . That throwes his Angle every where , and cryes What is 't you lack , sir , Fine Silks and Stuffs , or Hoods & Muffs but if a Courtier prove the Intangler , My Citizen must look too 't then , or the Fish will catch the Angler . A Lover is an Angler too , and Baits his Hooke with Kisses ; He playes and toyes , and fain would do , but often times he misses : He gives her Rings , and such fine things as Fan or Muff , or Night-hood : But if you 'l Cheat , a City Prat , you must bait her with a Knight-hood . There is no Angler like a Wench stark-naked in the Water , She 'l make you leave both Trowt and Tench and throw your self in after : Your Hook an 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 seaze yee , I 'le bait my Hook with Wit again , and Angle still to please ye .
