Dear Ven. Yuttadhammo,
Here's my guess of the meaning of the verse:
348. “Kuṭṭharogādhibhūtohaṃ, na ratiṃ na sukhaṃ labhe;
moghaṃ rajjaṃ sukhaṃ yasmā, mogharājā tato ahaṃ. (Ap II 487)
Because I, who had acquired a skin disease, with neither delifght nor
happiness,
Easily obtain a useless kingdom, I am therefore a useless king.
Best,
Jim
