- (continued from previous page)about the bank it is and fit for any lord it is. A grave.As I walked out, as I walked in, it from the dead the live did spring. Six did sit, the seventh did fly, riddle me that and I'm willing to die. A Bird's nest in a skull.What is it if it is too short, cut a bit off it, it will be long enough. A grave.What is it that when you take from it, it gets bigger, and when you put toit, its gets smaller. A hole.The bigger no doubt of it, the more you take out of it. A grave.Patch upon patch, without any stitches, riddle me that and I'll give you a breeches. Head of cabbage.
