Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Beauties of Thomson: Consisting of Selections From His Poetic and Dramatic Works Thomson. Dragged lingering on from partial death to death, Till, dying, all he can resign is breath. Angling. Now when the first foul torrent of the brooks, Swell´d with the vernal rains, is ebb´d away, And, whitening, down their mossy-tinctured stream Descends the billowy foam: now is the time. While yet the dark-brown water aids the guile, To tempt the trout. The well-dissembled fly, The rod fine-tapering with elastic spring, Snatch´d from the hoary steed the floating line, And all thy slender watery stores, prepare. But let not on thy hook the tortured worm Convulsive twist in agonizing folds; Which, by rapacious hunger swallow´d deep, Gives, as you tear it from the bleeding breast Of the weak, helpless, uncomplaining wretch, Harsh pain and horror to the tender hand. When with his lively ray the potent sun Has pierced the streams, and roused the finny race, Then, issuing cheerful, to thy sport repair; Chief should the western breezes curling play, And light o´er ether bear the shadowy clouds. High to their fount, this day, amid the hills, And woodlands warbling round, trace up the brooks; The next, pursue their rocky-channel´d maze Down to the river, in whose ample wave Their little naiads love to sport at large. Just in the dubious point, where with the pool Is mix´d the trembling stream, or where it boils Around the stone, or from the hallow´d bank Reverted plays in undulating flow, There throw, nice judging, the delusive fly; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
