COMPLETE ANGLER;

O'R,

CONTEMPLATIVE MAN'S RECREATION.

"Immortal WALTON! may thy flame still burn,
And duteous pilgrims crown thy sacred urn!
Lov'd as thou art, the future age shall show
Thy cherish'd lineaments with brighter glow!
May the fresh homage that shall yet be paid,
Be grateful incense to thy gentle shade;
Nor honours cease, e'en when thine altar rears
The heap'd applauses of a thousand years!"
