Riddle 3:

Lost amongst my history untold,
I knew more secrets than told.
My childhood wish failed
And plagued the one who prevailed.
A past longing and fear that was hidden,
Turned to distain and loathing.
Only a memory I did not know about
Revealed my deepest secret.
And the reason for my loathing
Became all too clear.

So hunt with Rufus,
Or hex a dufus,
And you I will store
Like many before.
In my prized set,
Of whom I abet.
But for my poor sake,
Forgive my mistake.
