Rodomontado

I likewiſe blame thoſe who being angry, will brave and mutinie when the partie with whome they are offended is not by. Theſe Rodomantados muſt be employed on ſuch as feare them.

A domeſtic poet, called Flann Mac Lonnane, who was of this king’s retinue, having heard out this piece of rodomontado, could not refrain from telling his maſter, that he was apprehenſive if he had gone upon ſuch a ſporting ſchcme into the country of the Dal-Caſſian tribe[…]

They pronounced the captain the finest fellow in the world, and his men all bons garçons, jovial lads, and swore they would pass the day with them. They did so; and a day it was, of boast, and swagger, and rodomontado.
