    So may the outward shows be least themselves;
    The world is still deceived with ornament.
    In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt
    But being seasoned with a gracious voice,
    Obscures the show of evil? In religion,
    What damned error but some sober brow
    Will bless it and approve it with a text,
    Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?

And thus I clothe my naked villany
With old odd ends, stol'n out of holy writ,
And read more

And thus I clothe my naked villany
With old odd ends, stol'n out of holy writ,
And seem a saint when most I play the devil.
