John Bartlett (1820–1905).  Familiar Quotations, 10th ed.  1919.
 
 
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.
ATTRIBUTION:The Calf-Path.
