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 Witness: Do but you fansy this to be Rhodes, and then shew us the Leap.
Travellers have a kind of Privilege to romance it, and to tell Stories at large.
