The Incomplete Angler singeth:—
It was all very well, when afar from the "swim,"
With tackle unready, and plans rather dim,
To go in for splashes and plunges.
I am not quite assured. How the papers did yell
At my whirls, and my whisks, and wild lunges!
But now, on the spot, with the fish all about,
The Waltonian rôle, there is not the least doubt,
Befits a diplomatist Angler.
