    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.

And a joy in the heart of pain;
And the wind read more

There's a pang in all rejoicing,
And a joy in the heart of pain;
And the wind that saddens, the sea that gladdens,
Are singing the selfsame strain.
