¶Liedtext

Oh, the gallant fisher’s life, It is the best of any! ’Tis full of pleasure, void of strife, And ’tis belov’d of many; Other joys Are but toys; Only this Lawful is, For our skill Breeds no ill, But content and pleasure. When we please to walk abroad, In search of recreation, In pleasant fields is our abode, Our chiefest delectation: Where in brook, With a hook, Or a lake, Fish we take; There we sit For a bit, Till we fish entangle. Or we sometimes pass an hour Beneath a friendly willow; For that defends us from a shower,– The mossy turf our pillow; Where we may Think or pray, Before death Stops our breath. Other joys Are but toys, And to be lamented.
