Of a Welshman.

A Welshman, and an English∣man were cracking whose countrey had the most fruitfull soile. The Englishman said there was a close in the Town where he was born, which bore so high grasse, that if a man threw a cudgell into it over-night, it would bee so hidden with grasse that hee should hardly find it the next day. Tush, said the Welshman, there is a close in the Towne where I was borne, into which if you put your horse overnight, you shal hard∣ly find him in the morning.
