The buried potentate in the lines—
My first is in cake, but not in bun;
My second in light, but not in sun;
My third is in night, but not in day;
My fourth is in game, but not in play;
My fifth is in head, but not in tail;
My sixth is in wind, but not in sail;
My seventh in wrong, but not in right;
My eighth is in battle, but not in fight;
My ninth is in sword, but not in knife,
My tenth is in lady, but not in wife;
My whole is a monarch at war with strife.
is King Edward.

The charade—
My first except when it is old
Is never seen or heard;
When it is heard the sound is tolled
Out of a Jewish beard.
My next was in imperial Rome,
It was her power and might;
Then you had but to write you wish,
And straightway ’twas in sight.
My whole was Frank
Of royal rank.
