It's Not a Jumble
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
I'm thinking of that proper place
Where death comes before dishonor
And age comes before beauty of face.
Not a perfect place, there is still crime,
But followed by punishment and hard time.
Yet pearls are placed before swine,
the cart before the horse,
And the end comes before the source.
But it's not a jumble, all in sure order is bound,
Giving meaning and history to sound,
Can you now guess what place I've found?
Where death comes before dishonor
And age comes before beauty of face.
Not a perfect place, there is still crime,
But followed by punishment and hard time.
Yet pearls are placed before swine,
the cart before the horse,
And the end comes before the source.
But it's not a jumble, all in sure order is bound,
Giving meaning and history to sound,
Can you now guess what place I've found?

I think I might have heard this somewhere, but good riddle either way. The answer makes perfect sense but I was thinking of a literal place instead of a book.
I could...not even get close.
Oh Mur God! I got it I got it! This was a fun teaser. It made sense when I put it into parts. Good luck for everyone else and good job on th riddle!

I just didn't guess. It seemed too hard.
Ok.... I lied. I didn't get. I looked at the answer then went to my sister and was like "I got it!" I feel guilty.... But not really. It was too hard I didn't feel like guessing like blazingflower said above
