Anyone Good At Riddles?

[Compingtone]

I've been given 4 riddles as clues to unlock a number/word code as part of a mystery game. Any help would be gratefully accepted!
1) Though I am red, my leaves are pale,
No ribs have I, but spine possess.

2) Shakespeare's King brought me forth.

3) Sit, not I. Soft, not I.
But before a King I do stream in the wind.

4) Of the 80, I am second of 39
