Sirach 30:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ He seeth with his eyes, and groaneth, as an eunuch embracing a virgin, and sighing.

²² Give not up thy soul to sadness, and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel.

²³ The joyfulness of the heart, is the life of a man, and a never failing treasure of holiness: and the joy of a man is length of life.
