From The Anatomy of Melancholy, by Robert BurtonLET
"Let him not be alone or idle (in any kind of melancholy); but still accompanied with such friends and familiars he most affects, neatly dressed, washed and combed, according to his ability at least, in clean sweet linen, spruce, handsome, decent, and good apparel; for nothing sooner dejects a man than want, squalor, nastiness, foul or old cloaths out of fashion."
From Part 2, Section 5, Member 1, Cure of Melancholy
