become poor verb

Итак, ради того, чтобы не обирать подданных, иметь средства для обороны, не обеднеть, не вызвать презрения и не стать по неволе алчным, государь должен пренебречь славой скупого правителя, ибо скупость — это один из тех пороков, которые позволяют ему править.
A prince, therefore, provided that he has not to rob his subjects, that he can defend himself, that he does not become poor and abject, that he is not forced to become rapacious, ought to hold of little account a reputation for being mean, for it is one of those vices which will enable him to govern.
