RIDDLES. ‘Td

I change my name three days together,
Yet live but one in any weather.

 

“ PIDDLE XXXV. :
IXTEEN aajeSres, twenty-four pronouns, a dis-
appointed lobster, an oyster in love, and nineteen
, tadicals, may all be expressed in one common liquid,
which you must discover.

 

; RIDDLE XXXVI.
BY me extended commerce reigns,
And rolls from shore to shore :

{ mark the poles in azure plains,

Nor dread the tempest’s roar.
Relying on my friendly aid,

The sailor:smiles serene ;
Where clouds the blue expanse o’erspread,

And suns arise in vain.

Yet mean my form and low my birth,
No gaudy tints I show ;

Drawn from my fertile mother earth,
Through purging fires I go.
