A Bootless Enteepbise.—Going barefoot. . . Dean Swift, while resident in a village where he had a living, was frequently shaved by a barber, to whom he became much attached. The barber one day told Swift that he had taken a public-house, which he intended to carry on in, conjunction with his trade as a barber, and respectfully requested the dean to write him a line or two to put on his sign-board. The dean took up his pen and wrote this couplet. Rove not from pole to pole, but step in here, Where naught excels the shaving but the beer.
