Careful Words

digestion (n.)

Now morn, her rosy steps in th' eastern clime

Advancing, sow'd the earth with orient pearl,

When Adam wak'd, so custom'd; for his sleep

Was aery light, from pure digestion bred.

John Milton (1608-1674): Paradise Lost. Book v. Line 1.

Now, good digestion wait on appetite,

And health on both!

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): Macbeth. Act iii. Sc. 4.
