Rejoice and Weep

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Romans, Chap. xii. Ver. 15.

To weep with them that weep doth ease some deal,
But sorrow flouted at is double death.
Shakespeare.—Titus Andronicus, Act III. Scene 1. (Marcus to Titus and others.)

As the human countenance smiles on those that smile, so does it sympathize with those that weep.
Smart’s Horace, Art of Poetry.
