Each waxing moon supply’d her wat’ry store,
To swell those tides, which from the line did bear
Their brimful vessels to the Belgian shore. Dryden.Labourers and idle persons, children and striplings, old men and young men, must have divers diets. John Arbuthnot, on Aliments.
Not balmy sleep to lab’rers faint with pain,
Not show’rs to larks, or sun-shine to the bee,
Are half so charming, as thy sight to me. Alexander Pope, Autumn.Yet hence the poor are cloth’d, the hungry fed,
Health to himself, and to his infants bread,
The lab’rer bears. Alexander Pope, Ep. iv. l. 167.The prince cannot say to the merchant, I have no need of thee; nor the merchant to the labourer, I have no need of thee. Jonathan Swift, Miscel.
Sir, I am a true labourer; I earn that I eat; get that I wear; owe no man hate; envy no man’s happiness. William Shakespeare.
The stone that labours up the hill,
Mocking the lab’rer ’s toil, returning still,
Is love. George Granville.
Wikipedia
labourer
A laborer (or labourer) is a person who works in manual labor types in the construction industry workforce. Laborers are in a working class of wage-earners in which their only possession of significant material value is their labor. Industries employing laborers include building things such as roads, buildings, bridges, tunnels, and railway tracks. Laborers work with blasting tools, hand tools, power tools, air tools, and small heavy equipment, and act as assistants to other trades as well such as operators or cement masons. The 1st century BC engineer Vitruvius writes that a good crew of laborers is just as valuable as any other aspect of construction. Other than the addition of pneumatics, laborer practices have changed little. With the introduction of field technologies, the laborers have been quick to adapt to the use of this technology as being laborers' work.
