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.

Who began to liue in the worlde?
Adam was he, that first liude in the world,
And Eue was next: Who knowes not this is true?
But at the last he was from all grace hurld,
And she for companie, the like did rue.
Was he the first? I, and was thus disgrast,
Better for him, that he had been the last.
And Eue was next: Who knowes not this is true?
But at the last he was from all grace hurld,
And she for companie, the like did rue.
Was he the first? I, and was thus disgrast,
Better for him, that he had been the last.
Quip.
Thou art a foole: Why? for reasoning so,But not the first, nor last, by many mo.
