While Fisher caste his line,the houeryng fishe to hooke:
By hap a riche mans daughter on
the Fisher caste her looke.
She fride with franticke loue,
thei married eke at last:
Thus Fisher was from lowe estate,
in top of treasure plast.
Stoode Fortune by, and smilde:
how saie you (dame) quoth she,
To Venus? was this conquest yours,
or is it due to me?
