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
