| Delight |
| I am convinced that we have a degree of delight, and that no small one, in the real misfortunes and pains of others. Burke—The Sublime and Beautiful. Pt. I. Sec. 14. | 1 |
| Man delights not me: no, nor woman neither, though, by your smiling, you seem to say so. Hamlet. Act II. Sc. 2. L. 321. | 2 |
| Why, all delights are vain; and that most vain, Which with pain purchas’d, doth inherit pain. Love’s Labour’s Lost. Act I. Sc. 1. L. 72. | 3 |
| Their tables were stor’d full, to glad the sight, And not so much to feed on as delight: All poverty was scorn’d, and pride so great, The name of help grew odious to repeat. Pericles. Act I. Sc. 4. L. 28. | 4 |
| These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume. Romeo and Juliet. Act II. Sc. 6. L. 9. | 5 |
