POETICAL SELECTIONS. TO A FISH OF THE BROOK. From Peter Pindar’s “ New Old Ballads.” 0 IVHY feest thou away with fear? Trust me there’s nought of danger near} I have no wicked hook, All cover'd with a snaring bait, Alas ! to tempt thee to thy fate , And drag thee from the brook. O harmless tenant of the food : 1 do not wish to spill thy blood ; For nature unto thee , Perchance, hath giv*n a tender wife, And children dear to charm thy life, As she hath done for me. Enjoy thy streams, O harmless ssh ! And when an angler , for his dish , Through gluttony's vile sin , Attcmfit —a wretch—to /mil thee out, God give thee strength , 0 gentle trout ?
