Kural 957

குடிப்பிறந்தார் கண்விளங்கும் குற்றம் விசும்பின்
மத஧க்கண் மறுப்போல் உயர்ந்து.

Kutippirandhaar Kanvilangum Kutram Visumpin
Madhikkan Maruppol Uyarndhu

The faults of men of noble race are seen by every eye, As spots on her bright orb that walks sublime the evening sky

The English verse above is G. U. Pope's translation (1886).
