  1. "In here is a tragedy---
  2. art thou player or audience?
  3. Be as it may, the end doth remain:
  4. all go on only toward death.
  5.  
  6. The first words at thy left hand:
  7. a false lunacy, a madly dancing man.
  8. Hearing unhearable words, drawn
  9. to a beloved's grave---and there,
  10. mayhap, true madness at last.
  11.  
  12. As did this one, playing at death,
  13. find true death at the last.
  14. Killing a nameless lover, she
  15. pierced a heart rent by sorrow.
  16.  
  17. Doth lie invite truth?
  18. Doth verity but wear the
  19. mask of falsehood?
  20. Ah, thou pitiful, thou
  21. miserable ones!
  22.  
  23. Still amidst lies, though the end cometh not,
  24. wherefore yearn for death?
  25. Wilt thou attend to thy beloved?
  26. Truth and lies, life and death:
  27. a game of turning white to black
  28. and black to white.
  29.  
  30. Is not a silence brimming with
  31. love more precious than flattery?
  32. A peaceful slumber preferred to
  33. a throne besmirched with blood?
  34.  
  35. One vengeful man
  36. spilled blood for two;
  37. Two youths shed tears for three;
  38. Three witches disappeared thusly;
  39. And only the four keys remain.
  40.  
  41. Ah, but verily...
  42. In here is a tragedy---
  43. art thou player or audience?
  44. There is nothing which cannot
  45. become a puppet of fate or an
  46. onlooker, peering into the cage."
  47.
