Overjoy

The prospect of writing three exams in a row without a break does not overjoy me.

This salutation ouerioyes my heart.

In overjoying me, you are grown sad;

If my Letter pleas'd you, your's overjoy'd me; and I expect impatiently your kind Viſit: […]

Ah, child, thou art but half thy darling mother’s; / Hers couldst thou wholly be, / My light in thee would outglow all in others; / She would relive to me. / But niggard Nature’s trick of birth / Bars, lest she overjoy, / Renewal of the loved on earth / Save with alloy.
