Like Rodney Dangerfield, poor J. H. Knecht,
Whose name means "vassal," can't get no respect.
"Slave" leaves the line short a syllable unless it's padded with an additional word--"just" solves the meter but dilutes the sense. (Where poetry is concerned, I'm a perfectionist, even in an epigram of a single couplet.)
