Poem by Thomas Urquhart
Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 11. How dangerous it is, to write, or speake of moderne times
Though all, some errors doe commit: yet few.
Having committed them, would have them told:
That talke then being displeasing which is true,
Who cannot flatter, he his peace must hold:
So hard a thing it is, to say or pen,
Without offence, the truth of living men.
