Vivian Grey was leaning against an old beech-tree in the most secluded part of the park, and was gazing on the moon. O thou bright moon! thou object of my first love! thou shalt not escape an invocation, although perchance at this very moment some varlet sonnetteer is prating of "the boy Endymion" and "thy silver bow." Here to thee, Queen of the Night! in whatever name thou most delightest!

But this is base, carnal, sensual, devilish; cast, therefore, such thoughts from thee, as thoughts that are not fit for a Christian's breast, and betake thee to those weapons that are not carnal. Use Sixth, Be much in the consideration of the all-sufficiency of thy Father, whose cause thou hast espoused, whose Word thou hast chosen for thy heritage, and whose paths thou delightest to walk in.
Ever in my heart have I felt this is not right. Now hath arisen among the Jews, whose blood thou delightest to spill, one whose teaching I have felt before I ever heard of him. This one delighteth not in gleaming steel, nor screams of agony, nor running blood." "Ho! Claudia! Where is the Jew whose heart taketh not delight in flashing steel, dying screams and running blood?

But thou would'st fix thine abode in this island forever, were Nisida to remain thy companion!
Khipil abased himself before Shahpesh, and answered, ''Tis even here, O King of the age, where thou delightest the earth with thy foot and the ear of thy slave with sweetness.
Thus, therefore, you see that this third reason is of strength, namely, that Jesus Christ would have mercy offered in the first place to the biggest sinners, because, by their forgiveness and salvation, others, hearing of it, will be encouraged the more to come to him for mercy. It may well therefore be said to God, Thou delightest in mercy, and mercy pleases thee; Mich. vii. 18.
But whether, most blessed evening! thou delightest us in the country or in the town, thou equally disposest us to make and to feel love! Thou art the cause of more marriages and more divorces than any other time in the twenty-four hours! Eyes that were common eyes to us before, touched by thy enchanting and magic shadows, become inspired, and preach to us of heaven.
And thou, most beautiful of all thou evening star of entremets thou that delightest in truffles, and gloriest in a dark cloud of sauces exquisite foie-gras! Have I forgotten thee? Do I not, on the contrary, see thee smell thee taste thee and almost die with rapture of thy possession?
