In Sir Walter Raleigh’s “The Lie”, the speaker tells the soul “to go upon a thankless errand” and go accuse the world of lying. The speaker states that the soul has the truth as its warrant, which gives the soul no reason to fear telling authorities or those with power. The second stanza starts with the speaker telling the soul to accuse the church and the court of their wrongdoings. In the third stanza, he tells the soul what to say about the potentates, and the speaker says their greedy people only doing favors for money. The fourth and fifth stanzas describe men of high status as greedy only interested in advancing their own agenda. The next three stanzas have the speaker telling the soul about human qualities, such as love, age, beauty, wisdom, and wit, of their wrongdoings. The next four stanzas are similar, and the speaker tells the soul to accuse charity, law, nature, justice, schools and more about how they do nothing good for society. Then, after the speaker list all the people and virtues that need to improve, he tells the soul that it may face opposition but should not worry since “no stab thy soul can kill” (Raleigh 78). The theme of this poem is that people can and should not be afraid to change the way the corrupt social norms.
