Caption: ‘_______ I’ll none now:
Give me mine angle; we’ll to the river there,
My music playing far off, I will betray
Tawney-finned fishes; my bended hook shall pierce
Their slimy jaws; and as I draw them up
I’ll think them every one an Antony
And say “Ah, Ah, you’re caught.”‘ ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA. Act 2, Sc. 5
