ON A CERTAIN D.D.
Who, from a peculiarity in his walk, had acquired the sobriquet of Dr. Toe, being jilted by Miss H., who eloped with her father’s footman.
’Twixt footman Sam and Doctor Toe
A controversy fell,
Which should prevail against his foe,
And bear away the belle.
The lady chose the footman’s heart.
Say, who can wonder? no man:
The whole prevailed above the part:
’Twas Foot-man versus Toe-man.
