1. With his retinue mounted on a platter
Seeking to attain an elevation equaling it

2. Treating every faction basely
You see no supreme one treating it

3. We said why is it you fancy the dregs of
Mankind, and the worst of affairs are its dregs

4. Is it a band concurring in obeying you
Or a faction distinguishing its rascals

5. He said I found the reed's knots from reed
Its elect being the harshest of its low parts

6. And I am in character a young man of the dregs so my aspiration
And my misery equals the meanness of them
