Brother Preptil, the master of the music, had described Brutha’s voice as putting him in mind of a disappointed vulture arriving too late at the dead donkey.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Brutha's voice is compared to a vulture that has missed its meal. The image makes his singing sound both unpleasant and full of complaint. Such a strange, detailed insult is what gives the description its comic force.
