    But fight them with spirit both cheerful and gay.
    My friend Mr. Parker, a fisherman bold,
    Went out with his rod in the rain and the cold,
    To the bluest of bridges far up on Lough Rynn,
    And angled for perch with a worm and pin.
    My friend Mr. Bradshaw, a fisherman stout,
    Went out to Belscarra to capture a trout,
    He coaxed him with minnow with grub and with fly
    But didn't succeed as that trout was too fly.
    Ah, but do you remember, at Jamestown this year,
    That salmon I hooked in the pool at the weir,
    How just when I had him quite close to the shore,
    He smashed up the tackle, we saw him no more.
