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;"
