The Man who day by day bears forth the Net,
Will catch a Fish ere many Suns are set.
S TORM-BOUND Fishers while they wait
Mend their Nets or cut their Bait.
Wait not to see what other Anglers get;
He takes the Fish who keeps his own Hook wet.
A S ALMON from the River or the Mere,
An Oak-staff from the Forest, or a Deer
From thicket, heath or hillside—these be named
Three Thefts of which no Man was yet ashamed.
