Ask yourself

Is it not true? that most men lie
Concealing faults which they possess,
easier to lie than to confess
Although they cannot tell you why
a lie becomes their stock reply.
A measure of their foolishness
Is it not true?

Your truthfulness I won’t deny
but when you look me in the eye
Loudly protesting honesty
you plant the seeds of doubt in me
Is it not true?
