Servants have ruled over us - To be subject to such is the most painful and dishonorable bondage: -

Quio domini faciant,

audent cum talia fures?

“Since slaves so insolent are grown,

What may not masters do?”

Perhaps he here alludes to the Chaldean soldiers, whose will the wretched Jews were obliged to obey.
