To Certaine Questions And Riddles Ensuing: Ix Poem by Humfrey Gifford

To Certaine Questions And Riddles Ensuing: Ix



Doe tell me my friends, what creature is hee,
That two times is borne, as all men may see,
And liueth a space, though not very long:
And often is killed, not hauing done wrong?
VVhen yt his breath fayleth, it liueth no more,
It then is baptised, and neuer before.
Though many a one doe euill entreate it,
They loue it right well, and often doe eate it.
