Ply all your changes, all your swells,    Play uppe “The Brides of Enderby.”’ Jean Ingelow, "The High Tide on the Coast of Lincolnshire, 1571", st. 1, in Poems (1863) Hoyt's New Cyclopedia of Practical Quotations Quotes reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia of Practical Quotations (1922), pp. 81–82 Solid men of Boston, banish long potations!Solid men of Boston, make no long orations!
