[至誠]{しせい}に[悖]{もと}る[勿]{な}かりしか
[言行]{げんこう}に[恥]{は}づる[勿]{な}かりしか...
What part of speech is it?
Wiki translates it as 真心に反する点はなかったか, which going by meaning only fits with 2（連語） here, but I couldn't find examples where し 副助詞 follows 連用形. Is it the しか（終助詞）? If it's き 已然形, why is it 已然形?
Answer
It's direct past き + question か (see the 係助詞 one).
The particle か causes 係【かか】り結【むす】び phenomenon, which makes the sentence verb end in 連体形 no matter where か attaches to in the sentence. In the link about き above you can see its 連体形 is し.
