I cannot my way through these troubles see. Quarr Charter, I told her, expressly said, The livings were all in the gift of its head. C^) But no ! she looked angry, and did not choose To acknowledge the rights I so strongly urged ; And if she appeal to the Crown, we lose. And our peaccftd island in strife is merged. Alas ! my brethren, we all shall need Patience and feith, for our hearts must bleed !" Sadly the brethren theii* Abbot heard ; And as evening wore along, Many a wise and solemn word ...Was uttered by many a tongue : Tho' opinions differed as to the way They must meet the coming snare ; But all were agreed to fast and pray, — For the staff of the monk is prayer. While pensively thus the monks conversed, The Knight, by the Abbot's leave, Sat behind the stalls, so he knew the worst ; And deeply his heart did grieve. And he thought, " what would I give to close In mortal fight with the Abbot's foes !" You fight them, my friend, in the truest way. When you learn to subdue yourself, and pray.
