I heed not their light, having thee.

Let others freeze with angling reeds

And cut their legs with shells and weeds,

Or treacherously poor fish beset

With strangling snare or winding net.

Let coarse bold hands from slimy nest

The bedded fish in banks outwrest,

Or curious traitors, sleave-silk flies,

Bewitch poor fishes' wandering eyes.

For thee, thou need'st no such deceit,
