Meditations 7.51

With food and drinks and cunning magic arts Turning the channel's course to 'scape from death. The breeze which heaven has sent We must endure, and toil without complaining.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.51, translated by George Long

Again:

With meats and drinks and curious sorceries Side-track the stream, so be they may not die. When a storm from the Gods beats down on our bark, At our oars then we needs must toil and complain not.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.51, translated by C. R. Haines
