[Indignus IV]

I'll try a 17th century riddle, then (I'm not entirely sure about the spelling, though)

"A mate to a ****, and a corn tall as wheat
Is his Christian name, who is musick's compleat.
The second begins with the grace of a cat
And ends with the house of a hermit, mark that.
His skill and perfection each auditor wins,
But the poet deserves a good kick on the shins" (I think we may agree with that )

a mate to a **** is a hen.
corn as tall as wheat can only be a stalk.
Hence: henstalk
Music's compleat refers to a person who is proficient in what he does, therefore this "Henstalk" person is a proficient musician.

The grace of a cat could be slink(?)
the house of a hermit could be a ghetto, or a shack. Slinkshack? <chuckle>

An auditor is a listener. Therefore each listener recieves the gift of the person's skill. It is obvious from all this that this guy is a 17th composer. Unfortunetly there are no 17th century composers named Henstalk Slinkshack.
