Famous quotes containing the word laid:

    Now that you are laid out,
    useless as a blind dog,

    Nor Samson, though he were so strong,
    No king nor person ever yet
    Could ‘scape, but death laid him along:

    In matters of religion and matrimony I never give any advice; because I will not have anybody’s torments in this world or the next laid to my charge.
