With a See also:companion as See also:feather-brained as himself he journeyed from See also:London to See also:Queenborough in a See also:paper See also:boat, with two stockfish tied to canes for oars.

Other travels undertaken for a See also:wager were a journey to See also:Prague, where he is said to have been entertained (162o) by the See also:queen of Bohemia, and those described respectively in A very merry, wherry See also:ferry voyage, or See also:Yorke for my See also:money, and A New See also:Discovery by See also:sea with a Wherry from London to See also:Salisbury (1623).

Taylor gave himself the See also:title of " the king's water-poet and the queen's water-See also:man." He was no poet, though he could See also:string rhymes together on occasion.

Thomas Coryate, the author of the Crudities, was one of his favourite butts, and he roused Taylor's See also:special anger because he persuaded the authorities to have burnt one of Taylor's See also:pamphlets directed against him. This was Laugh and be See also:Fat (1615?), a See also:parody of the Odcombian Banquet.
Sixty-three of Taylor's " See also:works " appeared in one See also:volume in 163o. This was reprinted by the See also:Spenser Society in 1868-9, being followed by other tracts not included in the collection (187o-8). Some of his more amusing productions were edited (1872) by See also:Charles See also:Hindley as The Works of John Taylor. They provide some very entertaining See also:reading, but in spite of the See also:legend on one of his title-pages, " Lastly that (which is Rare in a Travailer) all is true," it is permissible to exercise some See also:mental reservations in accepting his statements. Mr Hindley edited other tracts of Taylor's in his Miscellanea See also:Antigua Anglicana (1873).
