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,
and cold for the hot. It is the current coin that purchases all

dislike in sleep; it is, that it resembles death; there is very
little difference between a man in his first sleep, and a man in
his last sleep.

[Sp., No todas hermosuras enamoran, que algunas alegran la vista,

I never thrust my nose into other men's porridge. It is no bread
and butter of mine: Every man for himself and God for us all.
