- (continued from previous page)Through an old shin bone,
Riddle me that or let it alone.
Answer An Echo.On the gravel I do travel
On the oak I do stand
I rode a mare that never foaled
And carried the bridle in my hand
Answer A shipAs I walked out, as I walked in
I saw death abroad and life within
Seven got caught & one got free
Riddle me that or bury I'll be
Answer - Robin's nest in the skeleton of a horseRiddle, Riddle, Ree
Where I lay last Saturday night
The winds blew, the cocks crew
The bells of heaven struck eleven
Under the butt of an ivy tree.
The fox burying his mother- Informant
