If I had been master of ever so little experience, I should not have been the dupe of his rhodomontade.
- Lesage, The Adventures of Gil Blas of Santillane, tr. Smollett, bk 1 ch. 2
Allow me a little rhodomontade, Jack!...
Lovelace to Belford, Clarissa by Samuel Richardson
This seems to be a spelling variant of rodomontade. The added 'h' is hard to justify, as it suggests a false etymological link to the Greek morpheme rhod, meaning rose-colored.
