Now, blessings light on him that first invented this same sleep!
it covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is
meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold,

his last sleep.

Sleeping near the withered nosegay which he pulled the day
before.

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.

Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime and too sleepy to worry at night.
