The phrase "When in disgrace with fortune and mens eyes" refers to being poor and looked down upon by those around you.

The word "disgrace" takes on an especially poetic meaning here--without grace--and leads the reader to feel that the speaker doesn't deserve to be looked down upon, and acts tonally to make the reader side with the speaker.
