Bear Up --Or Bear Down
A curious word is BEAR, just like the animal whose name it BEARS:
We BEAR UP under pressure, yet we also BEAR DOWN
Should a dog BARE its teeth, it's much worse than a frown
The right to BARE arms---not the right to BEAR arms?
And if you just BEAR WITH me, my dear, you'll come to no harm
Meanwhile, this little ditty BEARS OUT my contention
that I CAN'T BEAR TO GO ON now, not even a sec--
--end
