Don't descend into poverty my dear poet
Verlaine was a famous french poet who, in his final years, fell into alcoholism, drug abuse and poverty.
With no hearth to call your own
Outcast status
Shameful for one of such old blood
She holds a noble lineage, thick with inbreeding hence the 'old blood'.
Perhaps...
It is because you cannot carry new life onwards?
She is infertile, incapable of 'carrying new life'
