[Gutenberg 35553] • The Anglican Friar, and the Fish which he Took by Hook and by Crook / A Comic Legend

Excerpt from The Anglican Friar, and the Fish Which He Took by Hook and by Crook: A Comic Legend

And though I had my rod, 'tis true, I would not fresh ones get. I'll wait, thinks I, and roam about, Though some days it may cost. I'll find the lucky places out, So time will not be lost. By telegraph's electric wire, Or steam, I'll let them know The place to which I'd fain desire These luckless flies should go.
