A wondrous trauailer.

Wonders most admirable you shall heare,
If you with patience will permit your eare:
That trauailer (beleeue him if you please)
Sweares he hath been beyond Th'antipodes.


And that he trauaild hath the Orbs throughout,
And with his hand hath turn'd the Moone about:
And to approoue his courage could not faile,
He tooke the horride Dragon by the taile.
And which is more, he sweares by all the gods,
He challengd Mars to fight, and giue him ods.
All this he hath perform'd he verifies it,
And he will kill the pezant that denies it.
Moreouer now he meanes with expedition,
To trauaile down into the lower Region.
Doe sir I pray you, and to Pluto tell
These nouelties, and bring vs newes from hell.
