John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

8124 Sam Walter Foss 1858-1911 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:8124
AUTHOR:Sam Walter Foss (1858–1911)
QUOTATION:A hundred thousand men were led
By one calf near three centuries dead;
They followed still his crooked way
And lost a hundred years a day;
For thus such reverence is lent
To well-established precedent.
