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.

Why is he drunke?
I know not why, vnlesse I knew his minde,
But many besides him is thus inclinde.
Perchaunce for company he is disguisde,
Or tis his nature to be thus suffisde:
Or tasting good Beere neuer found before,
Against his will is drunke of his owne skore.
But many besides him is thus inclinde.
Perchaunce for company he is disguisde,
Or tis his nature to be thus suffisde:
Or tasting good Beere neuer found before,
Against his will is drunke of his owne skore.
It may be his weake braine can beare no drinke:
I am not of your minde, so well to thinke.
Then knowing his owne weaknes, he should shun,
Thus to be loathsome, as he has begun.
How ere it is I know not, but these people,
Are all brainde with a Brewers washing beetle.
I am not of your minde, so well to thinke.
Then knowing his owne weaknes, he should shun,
Thus to be loathsome, as he has begun.
How ere it is I know not, but these people,
Are all brainde with a Brewers washing beetle.
Quip.
Company causeth Cuckoldes, most men say,But shall this prouerbe beare it so away.
I, it must needes: for it is helde least ieobardie,
When men go to the Deuill for companie.
