Guess this one:
(Not made by me but quoting it out of somewhere. I'll tell later, IF y'all guess it):
A little background: There's this man, who is to select one basket out of 3 baskets made of 3 different metals. So basically 1 is metal X, 2 of metal Y then 3rd of Z.
He selects one and found this riddle within that basket which talks of the metal. Can you guess the metal from the given riddle?
All that glitters is not ____,
Often you have heard that told.
Many a man his life hath sold,
But my outside to behold.
Gilded tombs do worms infold.
A step ahead!
Now try this one for basket #2:
The fire seven times tried this.
Seven times that judgement is.
That did never choose amiss.
Some there be that shadow kiss.
Such have but a shadow's bliss.
There be fools alive,I wis,
_____'ed over;and so was this.
