The speaker of this poem most likely would agree with the statement that most people prefer lies to the truth. In these lines, the speaker tells us that his "love" tells him some lies. She lies because she thinks he will not know the truth. However, he knows that she is lying. Nevertheless, he does not think this is a serious problem, because he lies as well, and most people prefer to hear lies than hear the truth. This allows them to have a peaceful relationship.
