Many a fault grows beyond excuse, until
How many a sin grows by excuses
one sees that the need to excuse it disgraces it—
Until necessity makes it ugly in the eyes

like the speech of the brazen, which grows uglier
Like the saying of the insolent which grows more ugly
the more they embellish it.
The more they try to make it pleasing

In short, one such as you cannot
The sum of the matter is that one like you

Cannot exist in a time like ours
