Anguish


One pain is lessen’d by another’s anguish; One desperate grief cures with another’s languish. Shakespeare.—Romeo and Juliet, Act I. Scene 2. (Benvolio to Romeo.)	1
Grief finds some ease by him that like does bear. Spenser.—Daphnaida, Line 67.	2
The man who melts With social sympathy, though not allied, Is of more worth than a thousand kinsmen. Euripides.—Orestes, 805.—(Dr. Ramage, 133.)	3
Nor light the recompense, when they who hear, Melt at the melancholy tale, and drop— In pity drop, the sympathizing tear. Æschylus.—Prometheus, 637.—(Dr. Ramage, 8.) (Beautiful Thoughts from Greek Authors.)	4
