Which line in the excerpt from "Ulysses" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson exposes the attitude of the Victorians toward idle people?

It little profits that an idle king,

By this still hearth, among these barren crags,

Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole

Unequal laws unto a savage race,

That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.

I cannot rest from travel; I will drink

Life to the lees. All times I have enjoyed

Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those

That loved me, and alone; on shore, and when

Through scudding drifts the rainy Hyades

Vexed the dim sea: I am become a name;

For always roaming with a hungry heart

Much have I seen and known - - cities of men

And manners, climates, councils, governments,

Myself not least, but honoured of them all--

    I'm assuming the whole first stanza is the correct answer: I t little profits that an idle king,

    By this still hearth, among these barren crags,

    Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole

    Unequal laws unto a savage race,

    That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.
