[This Rod was slender, white and tall]
This Rod was slender, white and tall,
Which oft he us'd to Fish withal.
A Place was fastn'd to the Hook,
And many score of Gudgeons took;
Yet still so happy was his Fate,
He caught his Fish, and sav'd his Bait.
Which oft he us'd to Fish withal.
A Place was fastn'd to the Hook,
And many score of Gudgeons took;
Yet still so happy was his Fate,
He caught his Fish, and sav'd his Bait.
Since Waters now are troubled grown,
His Fishing Rod he has laid down.
His Fishing Rod he has laid down.
