    Here is the source of your translation:

    Vitam quae faciunt beatiorem,
    Iucundissime Martialis, haec sunt:
    Res non parta labore sed relicta;
    Non ingratus ager, focus perennis;
    Lis numquam, toga rara, mens quieta;
    Vires ingenuae, salubre corpus;
    Prudens simplicitas, pares amici,
    Convictus facilis, sine arte mensa;
    Nox non ebria sed soluta curis,
    Non tristis torus et tamen pudicus;
    Somnus qui faciat breves tenebras:
    Quid sis esse velis nihilque malis;
    Summum nec metuas diem nec optes.
