Christopher, AJ,
Thanks for the read and the comments.
Christopher, I was using beggar to mean "make poor", or "to reduce to utter poverty; impoverish (from dictionary.com, def. #5), although I am only responsible for the first few levels of meaning, the muse is responsible for the rest
So I could also see it as begging the question, as doing so would fruitlessly drain energy from whatever it was applied to, whether inspiration, or a generation.
AJ, Although I have no idea what an English parish Church service book is, I think your application of the poem to a spiritual problem, is energetically consistent with the intent of the poem, that is, I think it is a valid interpretation even if that wasn't my initial intent.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
