Laughter is an act of joy flowing from reason.1 To fill the mouth with laughing notes great joy, such an income of joy, so much matter of joy, that the heart cannot hold it, but out it must at the mouth: joy begins at the heart, there's the seat of it: and when the heart is so full of it that it cannot hold, then it runs over at the mouth and lips; that is, we express the inward joy of the heart by some outward sign or token, speech or gesture. So then to say, I will not cast thee away, till I have filled thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing, is as much as to say, I will not leave thee, till thou hast more comfort then thine heart can hold, so much, that thou must give it vent at thy lips, and be speaking of it.

- 1Os impleri dicitur risu, cum aliquis tanta animi hilaritate perfruitur, ut illa cordis bilalaritas per veciferationem conclamationem risum aut hujusmodi exteriora signa valde appareat. Bold.
The word for laughter signifies as well inward as outward joy, heart-laughter as well as face-laughter. Besides there is a two-fold laughter.
