Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all numbers, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring,
Before you the name of an eminent king.

My life can be measured in hours,
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe.

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind

Tis true,

And when you all give up, i am going to be in a spot of bother giving you the answer, but I reckon I'll manage it, somehow...

But in the meantime, keep guessing.
