NEXT RIDDLE:

Four jolly men sat down to play,
And played all night till break of day.

With a separate score for every one.
When it came time to square accounts,

Now, not one has lost and all have gained -
Tell me now, this can you explain?

Though I am invisible, I am clearly seen in the midst of a river. I could name three who are in love with me and have three associates in vice. It is vain that you seek me for I have long been in heaven yet even now lie embalmed in the grave. What am I?
