  1. Weepernoun

    Etymology: from weep.

    If you have served God in a holy life, send away the women and the weepers: tell them it is as much intemperance to weep too much as to laugh too much: if thou art alone, or with fitting company, die as thou should’st; but do not die impatiently, and like a fox catched in a trap. Taylor.

    Laughter is easy; but the wonder lies,
    What store of brine supply’d the weeper’s eyes. Dryden.
