CHARADE: 15, by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGALPoet's Biography
First Line: My whole is but a species of my third Last Line: My first indeed he may, but not my whole, be reckoned. Subject(s): Gentlemen
MY whole is but a species of my third, Yet has my third no right to such a name Unless my first and second form a word, To which he lays an undisputed claim; But if my whole renounce my first and second, My first indeed he may, but not my whole, be reckoned.
