\-\A
Waggoner was once driving a heavy load {along a very
muddy way.} \-\{At
last} he came {to a part} {of the road}
[RAJFwhere the wheels sank half-way#NuA04
{into the mire,}]
\C\and the more#NuA05
[RAJFthe horses pulled,]
the deeper sank the wheels. \-\So the
Waggoner threw down his whip, and knelt=CV
down and prayed=CV {to
Hercules} the Strong.#App02 \-\[LNDO"O
Hercules,#DrA02 help me {in
this} my hour#App04 {of
distress,"}] quoth he. \-\But
Hercules appeared {to him,} and said:=CV
\-\"Tut,#Inj01
man,#DrA01 don't sprawl there. \-\Get
up \C\and put your shoulder {to
the wheel."}
\-\The
gods help them [RAJFthat help themselves.]
