S Narayanaswamy Iyer KR: And my reply is "Let not Ambition mock their useful toil, Their homely joys, and destiny obscure;Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile The short and simple annals of the poor.
Ambition and Grandeur are personified as *forces that generally mock ordinary people*. But the speaker wants to change the narrative and implies that the poor shouldn’t be derided just because they don’t have lives as flashy as those who are born into good social standings. Just because ordinary people are homely and simple, it doesn't mean their lives are any less valuable.In fact, the speaker argues that other forces like Knowledge and Penury (or poverty) are responsible for the disadvantages that ordinary people face. *Common people are naturally positioned behind extraordinary people through no fault of their own: *But Knowledge to their eyes her ample page Rich with the spoils of time did ne’er unroll; Chill Penury repress’d their noble rage, And froze the genial current of the soul (49–52).
