— Delight
I am convinced that we have a degree of delight, and that no small one, in the real misfortunes and pains of others.
Man delights not me: no, nor woman neither, though, by your smiling, you seem to say so.
Why, all delights are vain; and that most vain,Which with pain purchas'd, doth inherit pain.
Their tables were stor'd full, to glad the sight,The name of help grew odious to repeat.
These violent delights have violent endsWhich as they kiss consume.
All in heaven take joy in sharing their delights and blessings with others.
