To lie or not to lie? - that is the question: tis never nobler to belie the truth nor ***** out its light in the dark, and by so doing spark pain for pleasure. Or, by opposing both affects quite end them and by so doing gain unwanted reaction. To lie, deceive - no more - and by a secret code say what we want to say unvarnished by pitting truth against all lies that fall from lips - 'tis an infection to be avoided by all. To lie, deceive perhaps too much. Aye, there's the problem. for in deceit what further hollow lies may come? When we have caused such rank displeasure from one perceived lie, must force us thought. That's the reality making chaos of such an error. For who would hear or speak an ugly truth, to cause a love go wrong to fiendish trash, Why give them heart ache? Who would give them hurt to bear as unwanted burdens? But the chance they would enjoy the truth, The unknown glee from fate's unlucky victims For the victim's rebuff confuses the liar So conscience makes the liar want to speak truth thence rather see that redeeming reaction Aye. Thus turning dissembling into soothsaying And then the addicting infection is cured with the balm of truth, so contagion seems less appealing With this regard the suspected lies soon stop And lose what effect they once had.
