    I guess that's why it's called a scarecrow. :p

    Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
    Five in the middle is seen;
    First of all figures, the first of all letters,
    Take up their stations between.
    Join all together, and then you will bring
    Before you the name of an eminent king.

    Except for Ist, Athe, and Ath, which don't sound like real words to me.

    I admit those 3 are stretches Ist is in Shakespeare

    ist, int. Obs. [A natural utterance.] An exclamation used to call attention, or
    to enjoin silence: cf. HIST. (In quot. 1540 as sb.)
    1540 MORYSINE Vives' Introd. Wysd. D vj, If it go a stray,..calle it ageyne,
    as it were with a lyttel ist. 1611 COTGR., Houische,..husht, whist, ist, not a
    word for your life.

    ath, athe, obsolete forms of OATH.

    The question did not say they had to be current words

    Therein was the answer from where I got the riddle, but if Darkstrider is correct, it is his turn since he answered first. Let's call it a tie, both of you can compete about who writes the next riddle first.

    There is a word of plural number,
    A foe of peace and gentle slumber.
    Any other word you chance to take,
    By adding "S" you plural make.
    But if you add an "S" to this,
    How strange the metamorphosis
    That Plural is plural then no more,
    And sweet what bitter was before.

    I know the answer, but I wont tell
    if you think I'm wrong for cheating, you can go to hell

    This is a very hard riddle, but I'm sure Darkstrider or someone will solve it
