rst my second sat, my third and fourth I ate. In-sat-i-ate.

May my first never be lost in my second,
To prevent me from enjoying my whole.
Friendship.

My first I do, and my second--when I say you are my whole--I do not.
Love-lie (Lovely).

My first is a prop, my second also is a prop, and my whole is a prop

My first, though 'tis dirty, 's a thing to a door;
My second is made into cakes and a bun;
My third is, believe me, by none thought a bore;
My whole we have frequently been led to believe by many authors

I came to a field and couldn't get through it;
So I went to school and learned how to do it.
Fence.

Legs have I got, but seldom walk,
I backbite all, yet never talk.
