To solve this riddle, we need to break it down and analyze the clues given. Let's look at each clue:
1. "I am a favorite for a seadog to wield": This suggests that the answer is something commonly used or preferred by sailors or seadogs.
2. "For him to use without a shield": This implies that the object being referred to doesn't require protection or defense, unlike a shield.
3. "I do not make him heavy-laden": This hints that the answer is not something that adds extra weight or burden for the seadog.
4. "My name: what I do and a maiden": This clue indicates that the answer consists of two parts: a word that describes what the object does and a name of a maiden.
Based on the clues above, the answer is likely a type of song or musical instrument. Let's see how the clues fit:
1. A favorite of seadogs to wield: Sailors often enjoy singing or playing musical instruments during their travels.
2. To use without a shield: Singing or playing an instrument generally doesn't require any sort of protective gear like a shield.
3. Does not make him heavy-laden: Singing or playing a lightweight instrument wouldn't add extra weight or burden.
4. My name: what I do and a maiden: This clue suggests that the answer is a combination of a word describing what the object does (which is likely related to music) and the name of a maiden. This could refer to a sea shanty, which is a type of traditional sailor song, often accompanied by musical instruments, and the maiden could be the sea.
Therefore, the answer to the riddle is most likely a "sea shanty."
