The Felon's Crime
To hypnotize a personage into a diabolical trap
like a serpent of venomous and deceptive lies
To penetrate the universal treasury
with a strong and long thread of trickery
only using wit and courage for this immoral game
to gain so-called wealth, happiness, and fame
Not considering the play of treachery
hazardous and dangerous superiorities of stratagem
As it can decode the name of the game
and the faces of an imperfect puzzle
For in sooth, there is no such thing as a perfect lie
not in such it had been a perfect crime
