Riddle 1: (Read by Kurt Boutin of Nook's Tavern, FTH Beyond, and Storytime with Kurt)
To hang upon the bark of every tree
And praise thy sweetest name. O love of mine:
Accept these books and characters from me
Hold there, secure these papers from the wind.
On wings of love still waiting here I'll be
And as you like me, our two hands we'll bind.

Riddle 2: (Read by Charles McFall of Almost Daily Discourse and Finding the Stories)
A soldier turned to love was not the plan,
Until I saw this precious jewel anew.
With much ado of love and feelings grand,
Tomorrow for our wedding's not to soon.
Please place this gift upon thy fairest hand
And let me be your hero, always true.

Riddle 3: (Read by Britany VanBrakle of Surviving Life)
Too quickly have I caught the plague of love,
And with a subtle stealth now must I chase
This youth whose flattery was meant to move
Affections towards his stubborn master's case.
After this gift, my mourning I'll remove,
And these twelve nights I'll pine for his embrace.

Riddle 4: (Read by Rob Mulligan of Good Stuf and Adventure Incorporated)
For your attention, every risk I'll take
Competing with a King and two scholars more.
Sweet emp'ress of my love, my hand doth shake -
Two miles of note could never cover o'er.
To see these round your neck would I dare break
And lose the labour of the oath I swore.

Riddle 5: (Read by Amanda O'Donnell of Sassy Asides)
With hope in resolution I present
This figure carved from marble's icy stone.
For sixteen years I've watched as you repent
The jealousy that had within you grown.
But now I see your rage has all been spent,
So I'll reveal your love and pair to throne.

Riddle 6: (Read by Tony P Henderson of Tony P Oddcast and Almost Daily Discourse)
It pains me much to send this gift to you
Through messengers across the weary miles.
I've kissed it many doubled kisses true
And promise more in firmest Roman style.
The world is not enough for you to rule
My Queen, goddess to all beyond the Nile.

Riddle 7: (Read by Emily Swan of A Swan Named Emily and Doodle Crew)
A tune to bring your memories back home,
Knowing that he will not come again.
And now my noble mind has overthrown
Its hope of love or family to gain.
I'll carry to my grave these weeds alone,
And leave these perfumes and my song's refrain.

Riddle 8: (Read by Anthony Reed of Adventure Incorporated and Ask The Pokedexpert)
My love accept this gift ere I depart-
This manacle of love, wear as a sign.
No distance, length of time, or darkest art
Could break our oaths til stars again align.
In Italy I'll wait, with lion's heart:
To feel again my hands embracing thine.

Riddle 9: (Read by Phil Keating of Botched a DnD Podcast, Almost Daily Discourse, and Nook's Tavern)
In stormy seas was I saved by this butt
Which giveth more than tempest almost took.
And now to you will I bequeath a cut
If thou dost promise berries, robes, and brooks.
In finest silks on island sands I'll strut.
And now with me - your king - Let's kiss the book!

Riddle 10: (Read by Cara DiPietro of F**k the Broadway Body)
Within my arms I'll sing you soft to sleep
Enclosed from jealous eyes in bed of grass
I'll fetch you countless presents from the deep
And let the world and time beyond us pass.
Relax and let my magic in you steep,
As I caress and kiss thy fair large...ears

Riddle 11: (Read by Jay Agbaje of NaijaNerds)
With love newly expressed I weep for you -
To leave and dash your uncle's and my joy
But now I swear forever to be true
As true as any hero could employ.
Please take this piece of cloth and say adieu -
In battle I'll defend our love and Troy.

Riddle 12: (Read by Nate Lopez of 91 Donkey Lane)
To close the rift between our families
I offer you this symbol of my trust.
Let's all raise glasses full high, if you please:
A toast to futures noble, pure, and just.
I hope that with your stomach all agrees,
Surprises wait beneath the flaky crust.
