Description
Summary:eat v The Codfish now in shoals come on the coast, (A Fish'ry this, our Nation's chiefest boast) Now numerous Caplin croud along the shore; Tho' great their numbers, yet their Foes seem more: Whilst Birds of rapine, hover o'er their Heads, Voracious Fish in myriads throng their Beds. With these our Hooks we artfully disguise, And soon the glutton Cod becomes our Prise.
