“No better, reverend father, none, but worse;
And all my life seems blacken'd with some curse
That even holy church has not the power,
I fear, to charm away, or priest to scour.
O, reverend father, hast thou pray'd thy best?”
And all my life seems blacken'd with some curse
That even holy church has not the power,
I fear, to charm away, or priest to scour.
O, reverend father, hast thou pray'd thy best?”
