TWO OLD RIDDLES

1)
While I did live, I food did give,
Which many one did daily eat.
Now being dead, you see they tread
Me under feet about the street.

2)
I saw five birds all in a cage, 
Each bird had but one single wing,
They were an hundred years of age,
And yet did fly and sweetly sing.
The wonder did my mind possess,
When I beheld their age and strength;
Besides, as near as I can guess, -
Their tails were thirty feet in length.
