Puzzler

Having decided to play Silent Hill 3 again at the weekend, I set the action and puzzles settings to HARD. And so I encountered a very difficult puzzle. I think I got the order of the Shakespeare Anthologies right but couldn't figure out how to get the 4 - digit code from it.

So if anyone wants to test their Shakespeare knowledge and puzzle abilities here you go. (luckly I found the answer on a gamesite).



Re-arrange these five volumes to get a 4 digit code to open a door.

Vol I - Romeo and Juliet
Vol II - King Lear
Vol III - Macbeth
Vol IV - Hamlet
Vol V - Othello

And here's the verses.

Intro: In here is a tragedy ---
art thou player or audience?
Be as it may, the end doth remain:
all go on only toward death.

1: The first word at thy left hand:
a false lunacy, a madly dancing man.
Hearing unhearable words, drawn
to a beloved's grave --- and there,
mayhap, true madness at last.

2: As did this one playing at death,
find true death at last.
Killing a nameless lover, s
he pierced a heart rent by sorrow.

3: Doth lie invite truth?
Doth verity but wear the mask of falsehood?
Ah, thou pityful, thou miserable ones.

4: Still amidst lies, though the end cometh not,
wherefore yearn for death? Will thou attend thy beloved?
Truths and lies, life and death: a game
of turning white to black and black to white.

5: Is not a silence brimming with love
more precious than flattery?
A peaceful slumber preferred
to a throne besmirched with blood?

6: One vengeful man spilled blood for two;
Two youths shed tears for three;
Three witches disappeared thusly;
And only the four keys remain.

Outro: Ah but veryly...
In here lies a tragedy.
Art thou player or audience?
There is something which cannot become a puppet of fate or an onlooker,
peering into a cage.
