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.

How shall I finde it?
Ile tell thee how to finde that eare againe.
Children in shooting when they loose an Arrow
In high growne or deepe grasse, omit no paine,
But with their Bowes end rake and search it narrow.
And when they bootlesse seeke and finde it not,
After some sorrow, this amendes is got.

After some sorrow, this amendes is got.
An other shaft they shoote that direct way,
As whilome they the first shot, and be plaine,
Twentie to one, as I haue heard some say,
The former Arrow may be found againe.
So as you lost the first care, gentle brother,
Venture the second care, to finde the tother.
Nay soft and faire, to do that I am loth,
So I may happen for to lose them both.

Quip.
Better lost then found, who will beweepe them,Fooles hauing eares, yet do want wit to keepe them.
