Gentle is to feeble as rough to?

The analogy here is about strength and intensity.

* Gentle is a softer, weaker form of action or force.

* Feeble means lacking strength or power.

Following that logic, the word that fits the blank is:

* Strong

Rough implies a stronger, more forceful action or force.

So the complete analogy would be:

Gentle is to feeble as rough is to strong.
