[This poem had been previously printed in Hartshorne's "Ancient metrical tales," 1829, from a MS. preserved in Trinity College, Cambridge, but Mr. Hazlitt's text has been improved by a collation of two MSS. in the Bodleian and a second MS. in Trinity College, which was unknown to Mr. Hartshorne. Blakey has also reprinted it from the "Metrical tales" in his "Historical sketches," 1856. In one Cambridge MS. the poem is called "a gentlymanly tretyse full convenyent for contemplatiff louers to rede and understand, made by a noble clerk, Piers of ffulham sum tyme ussher of Venus schole, which hath brieflye compyled many praty conceytis in loue under covert termes of ffysshyng and ffowlyng." It opens thus:

"A man that lovith ffysshyng and fowlyng bothe,
Ofte tyme that lyff shall him be lothe,
In see in ryver in ponde or in poole,
Off that crafte thowe he knowe the schole,
Though his nett never so wide streiche,
It happeth full ofte hym nought to ketche."]
