Como dizer "A emenda foi pior que o soneto" em inglês

Also, for variety´s sake:

The remedy is worse than the disease.

Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

Won't the remedy be worse than the illness?

But out of the frying pan and into the fire.

…and the cure could prove worse than the original problem.

But I am quite adamantly against point 19 because it is simply an attempt to replace one evil by another, 
The remedy is worse than the disease.

The cure would then be worse than the ailment!

It was a worse the correction than the sonnet.

Note: with the help of the site Reverso. The last one seems more used in Portuguese-speaking countries, rather than in the English-speaking ones.

Other ways may come up, the English language is dynamic and the people out there are very creative indeed!

My suggestion:

The cure is worse than the disease.

Bye!
