Answer:
I am higher than the king
I ask no questions but receive a lot of answers
Open me, and you can't see me without a mirror. Close me and you can't see me at all. What am I?
My first is a heir; My second's a snare; my whole is the offspring of fancy; which I sent out of play upon Valentine's day As a token of love to my Nancy.
Of the king I am blue and of the peasant I am red. Of the frog I am cold and of the dog I am hot instead.
A leathery snake, with a stinging bite. I'll stay coiled up, unless I must fight.
