الصفحة 19 - twas but the wind, Or the car rattling o'er the stony street; On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet But hark!

As a general rule, however, red-fleshed trout are the most highly prized, both by the angler and the epicure.
