[13]
A WORD OF FIVE LETTERS.
If you my first by two divide,
My fifth it will produce;
Which, if you will by ten divide,
My third you may peruse.
Again my third by five divide,
My second will appear;
My second then by one divide,
You’ll see my fourth quite clear;
My whole at once you’ll plainly see,
Which I advise you all to be.
[14]
We two, when together, incite division,
Yet either one of us preserves unity, and is ever present with every man.
Bound together, we are leaders of harmony,
Then, joining our heads, we lead armies.
When crossed, we assist in every exaltation.
Tied by the heels, we crown victory.
[15]
Ni reevy andl dan micle I yam eb dofun
Ni rai ni wreat sola redun dogrun,
Fo saurivo tross I ma, dan saviour shue,
Fo rivasou dinks fo wronb, dan sivorau slube,
M’i stimoseme clabk, ro yrag, dan mesetimos erd,
Lou’ly syrule dnif em otu morf thaw vi’e aids,
Noe throe thin ot dia ouy ni oury suges,
Wotthiu em tubs ’aye elfs weer laveluses.

What two words, of eight letters each, one an adjective, the other a verb, will exactly resolve themselves into each other?
