| Joy |
| Joy ruled the day, and love the night. Dryden.—The Secular Masque. | 1 |
| How much better it is to weep at joy, than joy at weeping. Shakespeare.—Much Ado About Nothing, Act I. Scene 1. (Leonato to Messenger.) | 2 |
| An infant when it gazes on a light, A child the moment when it drains the breast, A devotee when soars the host in sight, An Arab with a stranger for a guest, A sailor when the prize has struck in fight, A miser filling his most hoarded chest, Feel rapture: but not such true joy are reaping, As they who watch o’er what they love while sleeping. Byron.—Don Juan, Canto II. Stanza 196. | 3 |
| Sorrows remember’d sweeten present joy. Pollok.—The Course of Time, Book I. | 4 |
