I'm going to post my own riddle here! I love riddles and it seems like a lot of you do as well!

I'm not trying to take the game away from Dave. I'm only going to do this once in a blue moon!!! Plus this way, Dave can have a chance of winning NX himself!

The NX amount is going to be a surprise!

Also, I would greatly appreciate it if no one would "google" or "askjeeves" the riddle! It's only fair to the other guildies that are trying to solve the riddle on their own!!!

So here goes: (This is my favorite riddle)

My first displays the wealth and pomp of kings,
Lords of the earth! their luxury and ease.
Another view of man, my second brings,
Behold him there, the monarch of the seas!

But ah! united what reverse we have!
Man's boasted power and freedom, all are flown:
Lord of the earth and sea, he bends a slave,
And woman, lovely woman, reigns alone.

Thy ready wit the word will soon supply,
May its approval beam in that soft eye!

WHAT IS IT?

*Please be fair everybody, don't look it up! I know how long it takes to solve a riddle!!!

A court or a throne could be seen as a display of weath and power...but the second part of the riddle confused me...-_-"

@Will

NOPE

@ Pauline

NOPE

Ok, here's the author of that riddle Jane Austen! If that helps at all!
Think of the themes and imagery in Jane Austen's writings!

Okay, here is how I solved the riddle.

Court displays the wealth and power of the man ON EARTH as on land. While SHIP represent the monarch of the sea. Together the word formed 'courtship' which will explain the subsequent verses. Am I right?

Dang...Pauline got it before me....I didn't exactly figure it out, but I did know it already...>.>

Btw Jeremy, the reason behind the strange wording is because it is a Sonnet, a poetic style commonly used by Shakespear (who actually made it famous).
