Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The path of life becomes a route littered with manure, turning misfortune into something both unpleasant and absurdly concrete. Adding Satan's herd gives everyday trouble a grand, demonic origin. The exaggerated blame makes the complaint theatrical without making its disgust any less clear.
