juice (n.)

  Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): Of Studies.

Lotus, the name; divine, nectareous juice!

Alexander Pope (1688-1744): The Odyssey of Homer. Book ix. Line 106.

'T is a little thing

To give a cup of water; yet its draught

Of cool refreshment, drained by fevered lips,

May give a shock of pleasure to the frame

More exquisite than when nectarean juice

Renews the life of joy in happiest hours.

Thomas Noon Talfourd (1795-1854): Ion. Act i. Sc. 2.
