What does the "the same thinking thing in men" fragment of Parmenides's poem mean?

This is Fragment 16 of Parmenides's poem in full:

In fact as each man governs a mixture of organs subject to errors,
so a mind governs men; in fact the same
thinking thing in men, both in all and in each,
is the structural substance of the organs, whose main part is the thought.
