 | Wits Bedlam, Where is had, Whipping-cheer, to cure the Mad |  |
Against telling of incredible Truths.
Epigram. 221.
Sooth-sayer Accius, in Tarquins fight, they say,Did with a Razor forthwith cut in two
A Whet-stone; which I thinke (as well I may)
Is wondrous hard for men of God to doe:
And if a man somewhere should this maintaine
He sure should haue the Whet-stone for his paine.
Then better leaue (sometimes) some Truths vntold
Least some men should true men for lyers hold.
