In this poem Vemana explains the futility of asking the help of Mean fellows.The poem is as follows

Goddutaavu biduka kunda gompoina

Palla nudadannu paala needu

Lobhivaani naduga laabhambu ledayaa

Viswadaabhi raama vinura vema!

If we go near a cow which cant give milk,however we try we cant get milk. In addition to it it will get irritated and move its legs violently as a result of which if we are not alert we may fall and damage may occur.Similarly if we go to a miser for help we get nothing but only strain and humiliation.In this context, we can remember Shylocks nature in demanding pound of flesh in return for his monetary help.
