XXXII.

_Ad S. Andream piscatorem._ Marc. i. 16.

Quippe potes pulchre captare et fallere pisces;

Centum illic discis lubricus ire dolis.

Heus, bone piscator! tendit sua retia Christus:

Artem inverte, et jam tu quoque disce capi.

_To S. Andrew, fisherman._

How cleverly the fishes he beguiles!

He learns to use a hundred cunning wiles.

Ho, thou good Fisher: Christ casts out His net;

Now haste thou to be caught; for thee 'tis set. G.
