Answer:

I would say that in this excerpt Edward is expressing that he will always feel pain and sadness. The correct answer is the last one.

Explanation:

In these lines, the speaker is explaining how some of the ones that used to be miserable, as Edward, have now an opportunity to change their lives with the help of God, with His love and mercy. Edward says that it is awful to be left behind, he clearly would love to feel relaxed and at peace, but instead he is "pining and perishing,'' he has "sorrow of heart, and howl for vexation of spirit",and he can't rest with that feeling inside. All these show us how he feels he will always feel pain and sadness, he is hopeless; that's why I chose the last option.
