FOUR RHYMING RIDDLES

1)
It has eyes, but never sees.
It has a tongue, but never speaks.
It has a soul that can't be saved.

2)
I washed my hands with water
That was neither rain nor run,
I dried them on a towel
That was neither wove nor spun.

3)
Light as feather, nothing in it,
You can't hold it more than a minute.

4)
Though but slight in size and figure,
I am of enormous use;
To every blessing I contribute,
To every happiness conduce.

No delight exists without me;
I attend each beau and belle.
Also grace the shepherd's cottage,
And the hermit's lonely cell.

From the king I'm ever banished,
In his court I'm never seen;
But it is with doubled duty
That I wait upon the queen.
