Thread of Riddles

[The_Common_Cold]

So a long time ago (world 3 or 4?) there was a thread where people could post riddles and I personally enjoyed it so I thought I would make it again. It's pretty simple, someone posts a riddle, and everyone tries to guess the answer. When someone posts the correct answer, the poster of the riddle can tell them they are correct. There are a few rules involved, which are as follows:

1. Try not to have too many unsolved riddles floating around at any one point. If you have a good riddle, but there are already 2 or 3 unsolved ones, try to solve one or two before posting
2. If you get stumped by a riddle and decide to look it up online, don't post the answer. That just ruins the fun.
3. Try to avoid posting things that aren't really riddles, for instance: David's father has three sons, Snap, Crackle, and ____. What is the name of the third son?
4. Look through the previous comments before posting to make sure you don't re-post an earlier riddle.
5. Italicize your riddle.

I'll start it off:

Of no use to one
Yet absolute bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing.
The young man must lie for it.
The old man must buy it.
The baby’s right,
The lover’s privilege,
The hypocrite’s mask.
To the young girl, faith;
To the married woman, hope;
To the old maid, charity.

Next one:
In marble halls as white as milk,
Lined with a skin as soft as silk,
Within a fountain crystal-clear,
A golden apple does appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.

Hm, is it an egg?

[DaniAngione]

It does seems to be an egg.

If you have me,
you want to share me.
But if you share me,
you no longer have me.
What am I?
