Pop in & popt out. A noted wag on frolic bent ... "No Sir, he's just popt out." A. Mills del et s Lettering in verse below the image: A noted wag on frolic bent / Once on a time did stop / Where blocks & wigs in window plac'd / Bedeck'd a barber's shop: / Thro' paper fix'd in place of glass / This wag his head did pop, / And ask'd "Is Jemmy Wright at home / Who keeps this barber's shop"? / Our witty barber from within / Replied to him without, / By answering at another pane / "No Sir, he's just popt out."
