Side 3 - Angling is somewhat like poetry, men are to be born so: I mean, with inclinations to it, though both may be heightened by discourse and practice : but he that hopes to be a good angler, must not only bring an inquiring, searching, observing wit, but he must bring a large measure of hope and patience, and a love and propensity to the art itself; but having once got and practised it, then doubt not but Angling will prove to be so pleasant that it will prove to be, like virtue, a reward to itself.
Side 14 - In the loose rhymes of every poetaster :— Could I be more than any man that lives, Great, fair, rich, wise, all in superlatives : Yet I more freely would these gifts resign, Than ever Fortune would have made them mine; And hold one minute of this holy leisure, Beyond the riches of this empty pleasure.

As the echo caught the roar of the water it sent it to us...
Side 12 - The dancing imiml« through the dewy meads. She fills profuse ten thousand little throats With music, modulating all their notes ; And charms the woodland scenes and wilds unknown With artless airs and concerts of her own.
Side 3 - Doubt not therefore, Sir, but that Angling is an art, and an art worth your learning; the question is rather, whether you be capable of learning it ; for Angling is somewhat like Poetry, men are to be born so : I mean with inclinations to it, though both may be heightened by discourse and practice...
Side 72 - ... the amount now scheduled to any one of the nations referred to in this particular military assistance program. Mr. MERKOW. I would say, if we do not have the money to spend in Asia, in addition to this program, that as a matter of policy some of the aid ought to be allocated to the Far East, because I do not think there is any place in the world where we can gain so much for a small expenditure as we can in non-Communist China.
