Golden horns and flagon ear,
Neither fish, flesh, blood nor bone,
It walks in yonder park alone?
A snail.36 [sic]. It is in the car, not wanting in the car, still the car can not go without it?
Noise.37. The man who made it made it to sell it, the man who bought it did not want it, the man that wanted it never saw it?
A coffin.38. What is it that is as white as snow, as black as ink, and hops on the road like hail-stones?
A magpie.39. What is it you have, you very seldom use it, but your friends are always using it?
