I expect it started with 'Z' what with him being a dictionary compiler!
Oh well said, Foxglove!  I've been googling for ages & can't find anything.  :o)
According to Boswell's Life of Johnson, the last words he spoke were "God bless you, my dear" addressed to, Miss Morris, the daughter of a friend of his. Not very memorable perhaps, but Boswell must be the best authority there is.

...and then he fell asleep and, as Foxglove said, it was Zzzzzzzzz!!  :o)
I told you I was ill????
