In V, the narrator laments about the gifts of those born in wealth, about those born into wealth are more virtuous than himself, who was a man who was "self-made." To Him, Pride is more a friend of self-made men than to men who were already born with nothing to lack. The idea of this part can be summed as such: Can a man with sight be proud of seeing? No, because people can't be proud of what they don't work for.

In VI, the narrator cries about the disparity in perspective between those born favored by God and those born without God. He illustrates this disparity by describing the marriage of a beautiful, virtuous woman born and a working man self-made. Through this, he tries to prove two classes of people: those who need to pray, and those who do not. To him, there's nothing more certain than beautiful people marrying.

Cont. To him, it insults them that the beautiful pray. What's more, he's insulted that he's insulted. He laments because he's insulted. This section ends with light commentaries on popular rule, of how there's no rich or poor. Only good and evil, with 999 out of 1000 being evil... so why expect a majority to choose good leaders? One will choose good while 999 choose evil. There's no check to this but the rule of one.
