A Riddle Carved in Stone
The Pedestal Speaks
Bring me what is mine, and I shall yield
I am the vice of priest and king,
Two things in one — the cup, the wine,
Held in this ancient room of mine.
Bring me both, and treasures sing.
Yet noticed by no eye that's seen,
I sit beside what should have been.
Pour the red, and lift the cup —
The doors of plenty will open up.
whoever solves this, takes the spoils
