Read this excerpt from The Iliad.
First give thy faith, and plight a prince's word
Of sure protection, by thy power and sword;
For I must speak what wisdom would conceal,
And truths, invidious to the great, reveal,
Bold is the task, when subject, grown too wise
Instruct a monarch where his error lies;
What evidence suggests why Agamemnon may become angry with Chalcas?
First give they faith, and plight a prince's word
Of sure protection, by thy power and sword;
Bold is the task, when subject, grown too wise
Instruct a monarch where his error lies;
And truths, invidious to the great, reveal
Bold is the task, when subject, grown too wise
For I must speak what wisdom would conceal,
And truths, invidious to the great, reveal
