"Give not up thy soul to sadness, and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel. For sadness hath killed many, and there is no profit in it."

-Ecclesiasticus 30:22, 25

"In a flame of fire, giving vengeance to them who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall suffer eternal punishment in destruction, from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.... And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying: That all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity."

-2. Thes. 1:8-9; 2:10-11

Who best knows time is most grieved by delay.

Yup.  Melancholics are basically always sad by nature.  Its not so much you give yourself away to sadness, as it is a perpetual state.

When duty called, we came;
When country called, we died."
