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 vveares he Bootes?
Why weares he Bootes and rides not, pre-thee tell?
Three dayes before they ride, some men do so:
But he hath neither Horse nor credite. Thats not well,
And therefore will not ride: yet thus doth go.
It is to mocke the worlde, as many do:
Many thinkes they haue Horse and credite to.

It may be that his Shooes are put to mending,
And weares his Bootes vpon necessitie:
So for to ride, he hath no such entending,
But stayes the Coblers leysure willingly.
Nor so, nor so, this man so strangely goes,
Wearing his Bootes, because he hath no Hose.

Quip.
Tis likely so, and now I see his drift,I gesse by him, thou hast made such a shift.
How ere it is, yet if the worst do fall,
Better a bad shyft made, then none at all.
