My spirit to that dark power; there was no guilt!—

Anselmo! wherefore didst thou talk of guilt?

Ans. Ay, thus doth sensitive conscience quicken thought,

Lending reproachful voices to a breeze,

Keen lightning to a look.

Vit. Leave me in peace!

Is’t not enough that I should have a sense

Of things thou canst not see, all wild and dark,

And of unearthly whispers, haunting me

With dread suggestions, but that thy cold words,
