Epigrams (Vol. vii., p. 175.).—The true version of the epigram on Dr. Toe, which I heard or read about fifty years ago, is as follows:
"'Twixt Footman John and Doctor Toe,
A rivalship befel,
Which should become the fav'rite beau,
And bear away the belle.
"The Footman won the Lady's heart;
And who can wonder? No man:
The whole prevail'd against the part,—
'Twas Foot-man versus Toe-man."
