    A rod twelve feet long and a ring of wire,
    A winder and barrel, will help thy desire
    In killing a Pike; but the forked stick,
    With a slit and a bladder,--and that other fine trick,
    Which our artists call snap, with a goose or a duck,--
    Will kill two for one, if you have any luck;
    The gentry of Shropshire do merrily smile,
    To see a goose and a belt the fish to beguile;
    When a Pike suns himselfe and a-frogging doth go,
    The two-inched hook is better, I know,
    Than the ord'nary snaring: but still I must cry,
    When the Pike is at home, minde the cookery.

La ligne, avec sa canne, est un long instrument,

For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught
of the fishes that they had taken:
And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were
partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from
henceforth, thou shalt catch men.
