Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind,
And, even with something of a mother's mind,

The homely nurse doth all she can
To make her foster child, her inmate man,
Forget the glories he hath known
And that imperial palace whence he came.

In contrast, the number of people in the United States killed in car accidents over that same time is greater than the entire population of Wyoming.
