Poem by Thomas Urquhart

Epigrams. The Second Booke. ¹ 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.
