Subita, magis quærenda.

Mat. with his Man late set on meriment,
And therewith trying by some tricke to flout him:
Spying his Dogge that to sir-reuerence went,
Ask't if he had not Pen and Inke about him.
Yes, said his man (and wherefore makes he doubt?)
To write (quoth's Master) what my Dogge layes out.
