The rod that I ware, Is no pedagogne's slave, The dnnce may snrrey it with smiles; For no horrid pickle, To add to its tickle, Its ronnd, polish'd snrface defiles. To cast the light fly O'er streams, is a joy Unknown to that creatore, the Book-worm; He glories in nonght Sare another's thonght, 1 glory in being a Hook-worm. 1V. Old Enclid may shine 1n angles dirine, And prattle of A B C D; My angle, howerer, 1f angnlar, nerer Wonld he a right angle for me. r. Of Castalian stream The poet may dream, And fancy he's nabb'd a bright thonght; Bnt enongh for me, 1s a stream that's free, Where the speckled Tront may be canght. VI. Lines of eerse, 'tis said, Proceed from the head, And the mental palate regale; Then what can exceed The poet's bright deed?--Lines of hair, from a horse's tail. VII. By hook or by crook, Some cnnningly look To win both the loaves and the fishes; Bnt the angler wanders, As the stream meanders, And there centre his honest wishes. VIII. Perchance at college, In search of knowledge, Tom shone a dandified dangler, Cajoling with pnn, Old Don and yonng Dnn,--He may still be--Senior Angler! 1x. NEW WORKS And NEW ED1T1ONS Hnrra! then, horra! For the angler's gay, And wends to the hrook with his tackle; He langhs at all eril, Throws care to the Deril, And shakes off the world's er'ry shackle.
