anyway here's something more fun!
its from Jane Austen's Emma. You're supposed to guess a single word which combines 2 words (referred to as 'my first' and 'my second').
I'll post the answer soon. Happy guessing!
- 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.
