Izaak Walton<\/b>
\n<\/a>
<\/b>
\nThou meek old angler, knight of hook and line!
\nWhat glorious reveries methinks were thine,
\nAs \u2019neath the spreading sycamore you sat,
\nTo find a shelter from the vernal showers;
\nOr wander\u2019d in green lanes, with cheerful chat 5
\nMaking dull days seem Pleasure\u2019s fleeting hours!
\nOh, how I love in \u2018fancy free\u2019 to roam
\nBy purling streams, in company with thee;
\nO, in some \u2018honest alehouse,\u2019 see the foam
\nOf nut-brown ale a-mantling merrily 10
\nAbove the goblet\u2019s brim;\u2014whilst thou doest sing
\nA quaint old song, and all the rafters ring
\nWith merry laughter at each harmless jest,\u2014
\nFor of all wit with innocent is best.<\/p>\n

Best known as the author of The Compleat Angler, he also wrote a number of short biographies that have been collected under the title of Walton’s Lives. Walton was born at Stafford; the register of his baptism gives his father’s name asGervase. His father, who was an innkeeper as well as a landlord of a tavern, died before Izaak was three.
