    Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain
    Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain:
    As, painfully to pore upon a book,
    To seek the light of truth, which truth the while
    Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.

Tut, man, one fire burns out another's burning;
One pain is less'ned by another's anguish;
Turn giddy, read more

Tut, man, one fire burns out another's burning;
One pain is less'ned by another's anguish;
Turn giddy, and be holp by backward turning;
One desperate grief cures with another's languish.
