I have, in order that I might be the better understood, distinguished pleasure from joy.

I have already said above, that a contraction of the mind can never be right, but that an elation of it may; for the joy of Hector in Naevius is one thing-- 'Tis joy indeed to hear my praises sung By you, who are the theme of honor's tongue-- but that of the character in Trabea another: "The kind procuress, allured by my money, will observe my nod, will watch my desires, and study my will.

If I but move the door with my little finger, instantly it flies open; and if Chrysis should unexpectedly discover me, she will run with joy to meet me, and throw herself into my arms." Now he will tell you how excellent he thinks this: Not even fortune herself is so fortunate.
XXXII.

Any one who attends the least to the subject will be convinced how unbecoming this joy is.

And as they are very shameful who are immoderately delighted with the enjoyment of venereal pleasures, so are they very scandalous who lust vehemently after them.
