The king of Ithaca begs with a design that none may know who he is, and makes himself

As like a dirty sorry beggar[*]
as he can. But he that is of the Portico, while he bawls and cries out, It is I only that am a king, It is I only that am a rich man, is yet many times seen at other peoples doors saying:
On poor Hipponax, pray, some pity take,
Bestow an old cast coat for heavens sake;
Im well nigh dead with cold, and all oer quake.
