Schadenfreude?

"What! shall it e'er be said by British tongue,

Albion was happy in Athena's tears?"

Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, XIII

Say No To Schadenfreude

"Can I see another's woe, 

And not be in sorrow too?

 Can I see another's grief,

 And not seek for kind relief?"

William Blake, On Another's Sorrow
