Famous quotes containing the words losing, trick and/or count:

Took the largest part of me:

This is lordly mans down-lying,
This his slow but sure reclining,
Star by star his world resigning.”

Tis Natures trick to propagate her Kind.
Our fond Begetters, who would never die,
Love but themselves in their Posterity.”

And hold there is no sin but ignorance.”
