Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.

Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

A pair of spectacles?

I would think it is someone wearing glasses, that only see each other when looking in a mirror.

ok guys, i got a hard one, at least i thought it was, my upmost respect to the person who can figure this one out:
Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.

The answer to mine is eyes, though I think glasses would work too :)

Take away my my second letter and I am still the same.
Now take away all my letters,and I am still the same.
