A _Bragging Traveller_.
A _Vain Fellow_ that had been abroad in the World, would still be Tiring
All Peoples Ears at his Return, with Stories of his Wonderful Actions and
Adventures in his Travels; and particularly, he told of a Leap he took at
_Rhodes_, that No Body there could come within Six Foot on’t. Now This
(says he) I am able to Prove by several Witnesses upon the Place. If This
be True (says one of the Company) there’s No Need of going to _Rhodes_
for Witnesses: Do but You fancy this to be _Rhodes_, and then shew us the
Leap.
The MORAL.
_Travellers have a kind of Privilege to Romance it; and to Tell Stories
at large. And for Those that Doubt the Truth of the Matter, they had e’en
better pass it over then go to Disprove it._
