EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 9. LOVE A TICKLISH GAME by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: VIRGINS ARE LIKE THE SILVER FINNY RACE
Last Line: LAY WELL YOUR HOOKS -- AND CAST YOUR NETS WITH ART.
Subject(s): COURTSHIP; FISH & FISHING; LOVE; ANGLERS;
VIRGINS are like the silver finny race,
Of slippery kind, and fishes seem in part:
Lovers! look to't; be sure to bait the place,
Lay well your hooks -- and cast your nets with art.
