Being beggarly is bad (4)

I believe the answer is:

poor

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'being beggarly' is the first definition.
('poor' can be similar in meaning to 'beggarly')

'is bad' is the second definition.
('poor' can be similar in meaning to 'bad')

(Other definitions for poor that I've seen before include "In want; below par" , "Penniless" , "'It's a . . . . heart that never rejoices'" , "Impecunious; wretched" , "Without means" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
