1 And now, laughed at me, Have the younger in days than I,  Whose fathers I have loathed to set With the dogs of my flock.
         
                                
                        2 Also -- the power of their hands, why [is it] to me? On  them hath old age perished.
         
                                
                        3 With want and with famine gloomy, Those fleeing to a dry  place, Formerly a desolation and waste,
         
                                
                        4 Those cropping mallows near a shrub, And broom-roots [is]  their food.
         
                                
                        5 From the midst they are cast out, (They shout against them  as a thief),
         
                                
                        6 In a frightful place of valleys to dwell, Holes of earth  and clefts.
         
                                
                        7 Among shrubs they do groan, Under nettles they are gathered  together.
