The brawniest will not beat back the storm
Nor the heaviest haul your little boy from harm.
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
I must have the gentleman to haul and draw with the mariner, and the mariner with the gentleman ... I would know him, that would refuse to set his hand to a rope, but I know there is not any such here.
—Francis, Sir Drake (1540–1596)
