I am neither beast, bird or man, yet I am an animated being. I began my existence in the beginning of the world. I am frail and weak yet I model the destines of nations. I am found in all the habitable world. Seldom in front of battle but often follow among the dead and dying. I am found in prisons and palaces, among the rich and poor. I have witnessed the struggles of the gladiator and the death of the martyr. My influence is felt by the king and the beggar. I was with the disciples at the foot of the cross. Can you guess from this who or what I am?

I'm a singular creature, pray tell me my name.
I partake of my countrymen's glory and fame;
I daily am old, and I daily am new,
I am praised, I am lame, I am false, I am true
I'm the talk of the nation while I'm in my prime,
but forgotten when once I've out lasted time.
In the morning no Miss is more courted than I,
In the evening you see me thrown carelessly by,
Take warning ye fair - I, like you, have my day;
But alas! you, like me, must grow old and decay.
What am I?

If dull, I'm cast aside;

And part in earth is found,
And both together firmly glued,
Are sent the whole world round.
