Qvips vpon qvestions or, A Clownes conceite on occasion offered. bewraying a morrallised metamorphoses of changes vpon interrogatories: shewing a litle wit, with a great deale of will; or in deed, more desirous to please in it, then to profite by it. Clapt vp by a Clowne of the towne in this last restraint, hauing litle else to doe, to make a litle vse of his fickle Muse, and carelesse of carping.

 | Qvips vpon qvestions |  |
Where is Ginking gone?
Ginking iumpt, and Ginking leapt,
Ginking thumpt, and Ginking reapt.
Sowe he did not, as tis knowne:
Why? then a reapt none of his owne?
Then Ginking weepes, and Ginking mournes,
That what he sweepes, he backe returnes.
Ginking learne to vse thy owne,
And do not barne what others mowne:
For if thou do, learne this of mee,
Ginking must a beggar bee.
But tis not strange, let it suffise,
Ginking neare was otherwise.
When euery Bird her fether takes,
Then Ginkings hart with sorrow akes
Now tell me where is Ginking gone?
To giue to euery man his owne.
Poore Ginking thou hast made wise hand,
To sowe and reape an others land:
Trust to thy selfe, Ginking be wise,
Men loue them selues, affection dies.
Ginking thumpt, and Ginking reapt.
Sowe he did not, as tis knowne:
Why? then a reapt none of his owne?
Then Ginking weepes, and Ginking mournes,
That what he sweepes, he backe returnes.
Ginking learne to vse thy owne,
And do not barne what others mowne:
For if thou do, learne this of mee,
Ginking must a beggar bee.
But tis not strange, let it suffise,
Ginking neare was otherwise.
When euery Bird her fether takes,
Then Ginkings hart with sorrow akes
Now tell me where is Ginking gone?
To giue to euery man his owne.
Poore Ginking thou hast made wise hand,
To sowe and reape an others land:
Trust to thy selfe, Ginking be wise,
Men loue them selues, affection dies.
Quip.
Though Ginking be a foole, learne this of me,The world sayes there be more then he:
Under this Ginking perceiue then,
That most do toyle for other men:
Are not all Ginkings then I pray the iudge,
When one man doth become an others drudge.
