There should be hours for necessities, not for delights; times to repair our nature with comforting repose, and not for us to waste these times.
Sweets grown common lose their dear delight.
The labor we delight in physics [cures] pain.
Why, all delights are vain; but that most vain, Which, with pain purchas'd, doth inherit pain.
To business that we love we rise betime, and go to't with delight.
Oh, flatter me; for love delights in praises.
These violent delights have violent ends.
