Book IV, line 260.
The Art of Preserving Health (1744)

“How happy he whose toil
Has o'er his languid pow'rless limbs diffus'd
A pleasing lassitude; he not in vain
Invokes the gentle Deity of dreams.
His pow'rs the most voluptuously dissolve
In soft repose; on him the balmy dews
Of Sleep with double nutriment descend.”

Without one hour of sickness or disgust.”

With frugal nectar, smooth and slow with balm,

And give the hesitating wheels of life
Gliblier to play.”
