But blaming me is blaming God.

What does the following text mean, especially the bold parts?

"Tis true my form is something odd, But blaming me is blaming God. Could I create myself anew, I would not fail in pleasing you. If I could reach from pole to pole, Or grasp the ocean with a span, I would be measured by the soul, The mind's the standard of the man."

Even if I were giant-sized, I would still be a man because I have the soul of a man.

it's merely stating that one should never be defined by their appearance, as man has more depth and can be defined in many other ways.

It is about being the same as everyone else "If I could reach from pole to pole, Or grasp the ocean with a span," = if i was the same as you, or better then "I would be measured by the soul"= i would be measured by who i really am "The mind's the standard of the man."
as its who i really am that matters, the things i do and think, not how i look.
