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.

VVhy sweates he so?
He puffes, and blowes, and sweates, What has he done?
What makes this young man hastely to runne?
It may be he hath stolne, and got some boote,
And for to scape makes haste, I see in to't.
Tis surely so, and time to runne I weene,
When as the Gallous threatens him such teene.

And for to scape makes haste, I see in to't.
Tis surely so, and time to runne I weene,
When as the Gallous threatens him such teene.
No, y'are deceiude, hee's true, and euer was,
He scornes to steale from any in this place.
Then in an other place it seemes he will?
Be not so Iealous, you mistake me still.
How is it then he sweates so, let me heare?
O, he ranne for some wager, I do feare.

Be not so Iealous, you mistake me still.
How is it then he sweates so, let me heare?
O, he ranne for some wager, I do feare.
Neither infayth, and yet he made great haste,
Such haste as few can make, but with much waste:
He leapt three ditches, one hedge, and a wall,
To win his will, whereby to scape them all:
For shall I tell thee, he hath run his best,
To saue his body now from an arrest.

Quip.
Twas time to runne indeede, and to vse cunning,Else had he been layde vpp, for euer running:
Yet sweates he not I tell thee, therefore peace,
This honest man melts but his knaues greace.
