Oak

1st November 2023

But Hercules himself must yield to odds;

Any many strokes though with a little axe,

Hews down and fells the hardest-timbered oak

By many hands your father was subdued,

But only slaughtered by the ireful arm

Of unrelenting Clifford and the Queen,

(MESSENGER: Henry VI Part 3, Act 2, Scene 1)
