Here's one:
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.

I suspect I am hopelessly off-track, but does it have something to do with a baby?  I'm probably quite clueless...   _________________ Mae govannen, mellon nin. Coramin linduae elle le!  ^Thanks to Elenriel of Mirkwood! c:

Haha, a Jane Austen fan we find in Taur!
I recognize the riddle, so I'm out on this round.

@ Culurien... Hm, not as off track as you could be! 
@ Tar... Why, yes, I am on a bit of a Jane Austen fix.  _________________

(Now REALLY confused... so this means I was pretty much off the track [and wandering in the woods] but it could be worse?) lol! (Fool of a... me.) _________________ Mae govannen, mellon nin. Coramin linduae elle le! ^Thanks to Elenriel of Mirkwood! c:

I cheated and looked it up, so I won't spill. But yeah, I never would've guessed it.

Hm... most of the riddle hardly makes sence to me... but some parts are clear...
My guess is... wooing? Like as in courtship or something like that...

Oh. I suppose I wasn't very close but not too lost either.  _________________ Mae govannen, mellon nin. Coramin linduae elle le! ^Thanks to Elenriel of Mirkwood! c:

I totally did not get that. even after knowing the answer, and reading it again, and making sure I read that right, nope. Still don't get it. Would anyone mind explaining?

I know, it's tricky. I didn't understand it until it spelled it out for me.
Emma by Jane Austen wrote: My first displays the wealth and pomp of kings,
Lords of the earth! their luxury and ease.
That is court.
Another view of man, my second brings;
Behold him there, the monarch of the seas!
That is ship;—plain as it can be.—Now for the cream.
But ah! united, (courtship, you know,) 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.
See? Kudos to Rain for figuring it out. I never would have! _________________

Okay, next riddle!
Round like an apple, deep like a cup,
Yet all the king's horses can't pull it up.
