CHARADE: 15 by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: MY WHOLE IS BUT A SPECIES OF MY THIRD
Last Line: MY FIRST INDEED HE MAY, BUT NOT MY WHOLE, BE RECKONED.
Subject(s): GENTLEMEN;
MY @3whole@1 is but a species of my @3third,@1
Yet has my @3third@1 no right to such a name
Unless my @3first@1 and @3second@1 form a word,
To which he lays an undisputed claim;
But if my @3whole@1 renounce my @3first@1 and @3second,@1
My @3first@1 indeed he may, but not my @3whole,@1 be reckoned.
