There is box a box in front of you that has five round indentations. You have three coins that will fit these slots. One coin depicts the image of a serpent, another one shows the image of a blindfolded woman, and the last one shows a picture of an old man. You are required to place these coins in the correct slots in order to open the box.
You have only this riddle to help you decide where to place the coins.
"Like coins in the hazy aether tossed Our souls must by their sinful weight Descend to earth with lightness lost
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"
