 * The puzzle is done.
 * The puzzle is done."

 * the Serpent sits not.
 * 'Tis to the Prisoner's left
 * that he doth rot"

Hard

 * "First lies the seat of
 * He who is Peerless
 * Silent and empty,
 * heartless and fearless
 * Beside him sits one who knows
 * The place of the servant is
 * next to throne
 * Dozens of feet,
 * yet not a single toe
 * The One that is Hidden
 * beside him doth go
 * Seducer of dreams,
 * creature of Hades
 * Lying further from
 * Man and closer to Lady
 * Man and Woman seeing all
 * Heedless to the Raven's call
 * Silent and Hidden the two may be
 * They be not there for you to see
 * Return them to whence
 * they would be
 * And blessing shall
 * descend on thee
 * I speak thus with
 * the North Star behind me
 * The birth of the sun is
 * the start of the story"

Extra

 * "Like coins in the hazy
 * aether tossed
 * Our souls must by
 * their sinful weight
 * Descend to earth

 * To "right" the sins
 * that they hath laid
 * When thrice in falling they intone
 * The Happiness shall be thy own
 * The first note be not by
 * the Horned One rung
 * Though it be there that
 * all sins be sprung
 * The Bringer of Life and
 * the Bringer of Shame
 * The sins of the latter be
 * even more tame
 * Though coming
 * in the Aged One's wake
 * The Formless One's soul
 * in fear doth quake
 * The Needless One, silent,
 * with hungers all sated
 * Is least then in sin
 * with his lusts all abated
 * For the gravest of sinners
 * His place be appointed
 * And if he be lucky
 * May his soul be anointed"
