"And suppose he take nothing, yet he enjoyeth a delightfull
walk by pleasant Rivers, in sweet Pastures, amongst odoriferous
Flowers, which gratifie his Senses, and delight his Mind; which
Contentments induce many (who affect not Angling) to choose
those places of pleasure for their summer Recreation and Health."
COL. ROBERT VENABLES, The Experienc'd Angler. 1662.
