(1) Crabb thus discriminates between to cry and to weep: " Crying arises from an impatience in suffering corporeal pains; children and weak people commonly cry: weeping is occasioned by mental grief; the wisest and best of men will not disdain sometimes to weep.

Shriek may be compared with cry and scream , as expre ions of pain; in this case to shriek is more than to cry, and le than to scream . They both signify to cry with a violent effort. We may cry from the slightest pain or inconvenience; but one shrieks or screams only on occasions of great agony, either corporeal or mental. A child cries when it has hurt its finger; it shrieks in the moment of terror at the sight of a frightful object; or screams until some one comes to its a istance."
