No, by Saint Joseph and the Holy Ghost!
On your head he the damage, so adieu!"
And so more days, more deeds I must forget,
Till ... what a strange thing now is to declare!
Since I say anything, say all if true!
And how my life seems lengthened as to serve!
It may be idle or inopportune,
But, true?—why, what was all I said but truth,
Even when I found that such as are untrue
Could only take the truth in through a lie?
