The translation.
The fisher doth his net
Cast forth that he may get
at length some fish
to haue his wish.
Cast forth that he may get
at length some fish
to haue his wish.
Hope cherisheth his minde,
Which he doth finde,
when fish are caught
in sea that wraught.
Which he doth finde,
when fish are caught
in sea that wraught.
He oft returnd before
Hauing small fish in store,
yet he againe
with bait doth traine.
Hauing small fish in store,
yet he againe
with bait doth traine.
The Church is the fishing place,
The fishers ministers of grace,
they lay their gin
to draw men in.
The fishers ministers of grace,
they lay their gin
to draw men in.
Alwaies though they preuaile
Can not, but sometime fayle,
for the wicked sort
doth not like this sport.
Can not, but sometime fayle,
for the wicked sort
doth not like this sport.
For all this they not cease,
But forward still must prease,
God will them send
an happie end.
But forward still must prease,
God will them send
an happie end.
