When drooping health and spirits go amiss?
How tasteless then whatever can be given!
Health is the vital principle of bliss,
And exercise of health.

of his house is mad and ought to be handed
over to the care of his relations and friends.

Health is the second blessing that we mortals
are capable of: a blessing that money cannot
buy.

Nor hours laid out in harmless merriment.
