Swings by his thigh a thing most magical! Below the belt, beneath the folds of his clothes it hangs, a hole in its front end, stiff-set and stout, but swivels about. Levelling the head of this hanging instrument, its wielder hoists his hem above the knee: it is his will to fill a well-known hole that it fits fully when at full length. He has often filled it before. Now he fills it again.

----------------------- a key

I'm the world's wonder, for I make women happy --a boon to the neighborhood, a bane to no one,
though I may perhaps prick the one who picks me. I am set well up, stand in a bed, have a roughish root. Rarely (though it happens) a churl's daughter more daring than the rest --and lovelier! --lays hold of me, and lays me in larder.

She learns soon enough, the curly-haired creature who clamps me so, of my meeting with her: moist is her eye!

-----------------------an onion

A young man made for the corner where he knew she was standing; this strapping youth had come some way--with his own hands he whipped up her dress, and under her girdle (as she stood there) thrust something stiff, worked his will; they both shook. This fellow quickened: one moment he was forceful, a first rate servant, so strenuous that the next he was knocked up, quite blown by his exertion. Beneath the girdle a thing began to grow that upstanding men often think of, tenderly, and acquire.

----------------------- dough

I'm told a certain something grows in its pouch, swells and stands up, lifts its covering. A proud bride grasped that boneless wonder, the daughter of a king covered that swollen thing with clothing.

-----------------------a churn

A lovely woman, a lady, often locked me in a chest; at times she took me out with her fingers, and gave me to her lord and loyal master, just as he asked. Then he poked his head inside me, pushed it up until it fitted tightly. I, adorned, was bound to be filled with something rough if the loyal lord
could keep it up. Guess what I mean.

----------------------- helmet

When young, I am sweet in the sun.
When middle-aged, I make you gay.

The finger I lick
Will soon turn red.

I am only useful
When I am full,
Yet I am always
Full of holes.

If you break me
I do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me
Nothing will matter.

--------------------- Heart

If a man carried my burden
He would break his back.
I am not rich,
But leave silver in my track.

--------------------- Snail

Until I am measured
I am not known,
Yet how you miss me
When I have flown.

For love of me,
Easily beaten,
Never free.

When set loose
I fly away,
Never so cursed
As when I go astray.

I go around in circles
But always straight ahead,
Never complain
No matter where I am led.

I am made of,
More of me is hidden
Than is seen.

What is out will not get in.
I turn around again,
What is in will not get out.

Each morning I appear
To lie at your feet,
All day I will follow
No matter how fast you run,
Yet I nearly perish
In the midday sun.

--------------------- Shadow

Bright as diamonds,
Loud as thunder,
Never still,
A thing of wonder.

--------------------- waterfall? (fireworks?)

My life can be measured in hours,
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe.

--------------------- candle

To unravel me
You need a simple key,
No key that was made
By locksmith's hand,
But a key that only I
Will understand.

--------------------- cipher

I am seen in the water
If seen in the sky,
I am in the rainbow,
A jay's feather,
And lapis lazuli.

--------------------- blue

Glittering points
That downward thrust,
Sparkling spears
That never rust.

--------------------- icicle

You heard me before,
Yet you hear me again,
Then I die,
'Till you call me again.

--------------------- echo

Three lives have I.
Gentle enough to soothe the skin,
Light enough to caress the sky,
Hard enough to crack rocks.

--------------------- water

You can see nothing else
When you look in my face,
I will look you in the eye
And I will never lie.

--------------------- your reflection

Lovely and round,
I shine with pale light,
grown in the darkness,
A lady's delight.

--------------------- pearl

At the sound of me, men may dream
Or stamp their feet
At the sound of me, women may laugh
Or sometimes weep

I can point the way,
When I am empty
Nothing moves me,
I have two skins
One without and one within.

My first report.
What am I?

With the vilest, in short,
I'm quite at ease in depravity;
Yet all divines use me,
And savants can't lose me,
For I am the center of gravity.

--------------------- The letter 'v'.

As a whole, I am both safe and secure.

Behead me again, and I am the partner of ready.
Restore me, and I become the domain of beasts.
What am I?

I sought my first in starry skies
Where shines the April sun;
My second came before my eyes,
And warned me to be done.

'Tis very hard to lose one's sight;
I'm blind as bat or mole;
Once hills and fields were my delight,
Now I'm no more my whole.
Solution ?

My first is high,
My second damp,
My whole a tie,
A writer's cramp.
Solution ?
A hundred and one
by fifty divide,
And if a cipher
is rightly applied,
The answer is one from nine.
Solution ?

Fear more than death or mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire,
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
And all men carry to their graves?

--------------------- nothing

I build up castles.
I tear down mountains.
I make some men blind,
I help others to see.
What am I?
