1	All's fish they get That cometh to net.	Tusser	Thomas

Straight as above the surface of the flood They wanton rise, or urged by hunger leap, Then fix, with gentle twitch, the barbed hook: Some lightly tossing to the grassy bank, And to the shelving shore slow-dragging some, With various hand proportioned to their force.	Thomson	James
5	Give me mine angle, we'll to the river; there, My music playing far off, I will betray Tawny-finned fishes; my bended hook shall pierce Their shiny jaws.	Shakespeare	William
6	His angle-rod made of a sturdy oak; His line a cable which in storms ne'er broke; His hook he baited with a dragon's tail, And sat upon a rock, and bobbed for whale.	King	William
