The Seven Songs of Wizardry,
One melody and many,
May guide ye to the Otherworld,
Though hope ye have not any.

Devine the truth within each Song
Before ye may proceed.
For truths like trees for ages grow,
Yet each begins a seed.

Pursue the Seven Songs in turn;
The parts beget the whole.
But never move until ye find
Each Song's essential soul.

The lesson Changing be the first, A treeling knows it well.

The power Binding be the next, The Lake of Face can tell.

The skill Protecting be the third, Like dwarves who tunnel deep.

The art of Naming be the fourth, A secret Slantos keep.

The power Leaping be the fifth, In Varigal beware.

Eliminating be the sixth, A sleeping dragon's lair.

The gift of Seeing be the last, Forgotten Island's spell.

And now ye may attempt to find
The Otherworldly Well.

But lo! Do not attempt the Well
Until the Songs are done.
For danger stalks your every step,
With Balor's eye but one.
