لامَ على العُذْرِ ويا رُبما
يَشْتبهُis mistaken العادِمُthe penniless man بالباخِلِfor the miser
يَشْتبهُ العادِمُ بالباخِلِ
He found fault with the excuse—and, oh, how often
No blame on laying reasons bare although
The penniless man is mistaken for the miser.
The spendthrift may be taken for a niggard
Sol 6.1
