No, your using the word incorrectly - you could say, "Relieve my spirit from the bale that bows it down." In that case it would mean mental suffering or anguish!

Here darling, please no misunderstandings:
Bale
–noun
1. a large bundle or package prepared for shipping, storage, or sale, esp. one tightly compressed and secured by wires, hoops, cords, or the like, and sometimes having a wrapping or covering: a bale of cotton; a bale of hay.
2. a group of turtles.
–verb (used with object)
3. to make or form into bales: to bale wastepaper for disposal.
bale2
1. evil; harm; misfortune.
2. woe; misery; sorrow.
--
Do NOT confuse with BAIL. These are two different words.

Nope, in the context of the definition you give about, it would be a noun and in the sentance your using it as an adjective.
You could say "I have this feeling of Bale", not as the definition isn't in the current venacular, no one would understand you. Speaking and writing are wbout communication, and if you don't actually communicate, you've failed.

its archaic english....
eg.
Evil: "Tidings of bale she brought" (William Cullen Bryant).
Mental suffering; anguish: "Relieve my spirit from the bale that bows it down" (Benjamin Disraeli)

Well, aren't you an education!
Yes. You are correct.
"That which causes sorrow, pain or woe."
Might be very old English.

No, don't say "I felt so bale."
Say "I felt baleful."
