Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit / To his full height. . . . / . . .

How many weary miles you have o'ergone, / Are numbered to the travel of one mile. - Shakespeare

Now strike yr sails, yee jolly mariners, / For we are come into a quiet rode / Where we must land some of our passengers / And light this wearie vessel of her lode. / Here she awhile may make her safe abode / Till she repaired have her tackles spent / And wants supplied ; and then again abroad / On the long voyage whereto she is bent / Well may she speede and fairly finish her intent. - Spenser
