Keep Watch!

[A Visitor fishing off Deal Pier brought up a gold watch and chain on his hook. It is supposed to be one lost by a resident, but the lucky angler has not been seen since.]

Paradoxical portent! Most worthy of rhyme

Is this fortunate angler who tried to kill time.

Fate made him the offer, and, wisely, he book'd it;

He not only killed time, but he caught it,—and "hook'd it."
