Hi
Please what this means:
It would make a man scratch where he doth not itch to see a man live poor to die rich.

Hi Suresh, This is rather cryptic. Where did you find it? It seems to mean roughly 'It is disturbing to see someone who does not want to enjoy life'.

Hi.

doth = archaic 'does'.

eg he scratches his arm although he does not itch there.
