# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 19/The Character of Dr. Swift After His Death

THE
CHARACTER
OF
DOCTOR SWIFT
AFTER HIS DEATH.
OCTOBER 31, 1745.
ON Saturday last died, at the deanery house in Kevin street, The rev. JONATHAN SWIFT, D. D. Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin: The greatest genius that this or perhaps any other age or nation ever produced. His indefatigable application to study in his earlier days, induced a total deprivation of his understanding, in which state he has continued for some years past. His writings, Which must be admired as long as the English language continues to be understood, Are remarkable for a vein of wit and humour, Which runs through the whole of them without exception, and which is not to be met with in those of any other author.
His satire, though poignant, was intended rather to reform than ridicule; His manner was ever easy and natural; His thoughts new and pleasing; His style chaste and polished; His verse smooth and flowing. In his private character he was no less excellent: His conversation was always pleasant and agreeable; He was pious without hypocrisy, Virtuous without austerity, And beneficent without ostentation. As he loved his country, So he was ever watchful of its interest, And zealous to promote it. No wonder then, That with these qualifications and endowments, He became the delight of his countrymen, And the admiration of foreigners. In short, it may with justice be said, That he was a great and good man, An honour to his country, and to human nature.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 19/White Kennett Diary Entry - Extract

Extract from the MS. Diary of Bishop Kennet, in the Library of the Marquis of Lansdown.
"1713. DR. SWIFT came into the coffeehouse, and had a bow from every body but me. When I came to the antichamber to wait before prayers, Dr. Swift was the principal man of talk and business, and acted as a master of requests. He was soliciting the earl of Arran to speak to his brother the duke of Ormond, to get a chaplain's place established in the garrison of Hull for Mr. Fiddes, a clergyman in that neighbourhood, who had lately been in gaol, and published sermons to pay fees. He was promising Mr. Thorold to undertake with my lord treasurer, that, according to his petition, he should obtain a salary of 2001. per annum, as minister of the English ​ church at Rotterdam. He stopped F. Gwynne, esq., going in with his red bag to the queen, and told him aloud he had something to say to him from my lord treasurer. He talked with the son of Dr. Davenant to be sent abroad, and took out his pocket book and wrote down several things, as memoranda, to do for him. He turned to the fire, and took out his gold watch, and, telling him the time of the day, complained it was very late. A gentleman said, 'he was too fast.' 'How can I help it,' says the doctor, 'if the courtiers give me a watch that won't go right?' Then he instructed a young nobleman, that the best poet in England was Mr. Pope (a papist), who had begun a translation of Homer into English verse, for which 'he must have them all subscribe;' 'for,' says he, 'the author shall not begin to print till I have a thousand guineas for him.' Lord treasurer, after leaving the queen, came through the room beckoning Dr. Swift to follow him: both went off just before prayers.
"Nov. 3. — I see and hear a great deal to confirm a doubt, that the pretender's interest is much at the bottom of some hearts: a whisper that Mr. N——n (Nelson) had a prime hand in the late book for hereditary right; and that one of them was presented to majesty itself, whom God preserve from the effect of such principles and such intrigues."
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 2/A Discourse of the Contests and Dissensions between the Nobles and the Commons in Athens and Rome

A DISCOURSE
OF THE
CONTESTS AND DISSENSIONS
BETWEEN THE
NOBLES and the COMMONS
IN
ATHENS AND ROME;
WITH THE CONSEQUENCES THEY HAD UPON BOTH THOSE STATES.
——— Si tibi vera videtur, Dede manus, & si falsa est, accingere contra.Lucr.
First printed for J. Nutt in the Year 1701.
​THE following discourse is a kind of remonstrance in behalf of king William and his friends, against the proceedings of the House of Commons; and was published during the recess of parliament in the summer of 1701, with a view to engage them in milder measures, when they should meet again.
At this time Lewis XIV, was making large strides toward universal monarchy, plots were carrying on at St. Germains; the Dutch had acknowledged the duke of Anjou as king of Spain; and king William was made extremely uneasy by the violence with which many of his ministers and chief favourites were pursued by the Commons. The king, to appease their resentment, had made several changes in his ministry, and removed some of his most faithful servants from places of the highest trust and dignity: this expedient, however, had proved ineffectual, and the Commons persisted in their opposition. They began by impeaching William Bentinck, earl of Portland, groom of the stole; and proceeded to the impeachment of John Somers, baron Somers of Evesham, first lord-keeper, afterwards lord chancellor; Edward Russel, earl of Orford, lord treasurer of the navy, and one of the lords commissioners of the Admiralty; and Charles Mountague, earl of Halifax, one of the commissioners of the Treasury, and afterward chancellor of the Exchequer. Its general purport is to damp the warmth of the Commons, by showing that the measures they pursued had a direct tendency to bring on the tyranny, which they professed to oppose; and the particular cases of the impeached lords are paralleled in Athenian characters. — Hawkesworth.
The whole treatise is full of historical knowledge, and excellent reflections. It is not mixed with any improper sallies of wit, or any light aim at humour; and, in point of style and learning, is equal, if not superiour, to any of Swift's political Works. — Orrery.

# The poetical works of Matthew Arnold/Fragment of Chorus of a "Dejaneira"

FRAGMENT OF CHORUS OF A "DEJANEIRA."
O frivolous mind of man, Light ignorance, and hurrying, unsure thoughts! Though man bewails you not, How I bewail you!
Little in your prosperity Do you seek counsel of the gods. Proud, ignorant, self-adored, you live alone. in profound silence stern, Among their savage gorges and cold springs, Unvisited remain The great oracular shrines.
Thither in your adversity Do you betake yourselves for light, But strangely misinterpret all you hear. For you will not put on New hearts with the inquirer's holy robe, And purged, considerate minds.
And him on whom, at the end Of toil and dolour untold, The gods have said that repose At last shall descend undisturbed,— Him you expect to behold In an easy old age, in a happy home: No end but this you praise.
But him on whom, in the prime Of life, with vigor undimmed, With unspent mind, and a soul ​Unworn, undebased, undecayed, Mournfully grating, the gates Of the city of death have forever closed,— Him, I count him, well-starred.
# The poetical works of Matthew Arnold/Human Life

HUMAN LIFE.
What mortal, when he saw, Life's voyage done, his heavenly Friend, Could ever yet dare tell him fearlessly,— "I have kept uninfringed my nature's law; The inly-written chart thou gavest me, To guide me, I have steered by to the end"?
Ah! let us make no claim, On life's incognizable sea, To too exact a steering of our way; Let us not fret and fear to miss our aim, If some fair coast has lured us to make stay, Or some friend hailed us to keep company.
Ay! we would each fain drive At random, and not steer by rule. Weakness! and worse, weakness bestowed in vain! Winds from our side the unsuiting consort rive; We rush by coasts where we had lief remain: Man cannot, though he would, live chance's fool.
No! as the foaming swath Of torn-up water, on the main, Falls heavily away with long-drawn roar ​On either side the black deep-furrowed path Cut by an onward-laboring vessel's prore, And never touches the ship-side again;
Even so we leave behind, As, chartered by some unknown Powers, We stem across the sea of life by night, The joys which were not for our use designed,— The friends to whom we had no natural right, The homes that were not destined to be ours.
# The poetical works of Matthew Arnold/Immortality

IMMORTALITY.
Foiled by our fellow-men, depressed, outworn, We leave the brutal world to take its way, And, Patience! in another life, we say, The world shall be thrust down, and we upborne.
And will not, then, the immortal armies scorn The world's poor, routed leavings? or will they Who failed under the heat of this life's day Support the fervors of the heavenly morn?
No, no! the energy of life may be Kept on after the grave, but not begun; And he who flagged not in the earthly strife,
From strength to strength advancing,—only he. His soul well-knit, and all his battles won, Mounts, and that hardly, to eternal life.
# The poetical works of Matthew Arnold/Geist's Grave

GEIST'S GRAVE.
Four years!—and didst thou stay above The ground, which hides thee now, but four? And all that life, and all that love, Were crowded, Geist! into no more?
Only four years those winning ways, Which make me for thy presence yearn, Call'd us to pet thee or to praise, Dear little friend! at every turn?
That loving heart, that patient soul, Had they indeed no longer span, To run their course, and reach their goal, And read their homily to man?
That liquid, melancholy eye, From whose pathetic, soul-fed springs Seem'd surging the Virgilian cry, The sense of tears in mortal things—
​That steadfast, mournful strain, consoled By spirits gloriously gay, And temper of heroic mould— What, was four years their whole short day?
Yes, only four!—and not the course Of all the centuries yet to come, And not the infinite resource Of Nature, with her countless sum
Of figures, with her fulness vast Of new creation evermore, Can ever quite repeat the past, Or just thy little self restore.
Stern law of every mortal lot! Which man, proud man, finds hard to bear, And builds himself I know not what Of second life I know not where.
But thou, when struck thine hour to go, On us, who stood despondent by, A meek last glance of love didst throw, And humbly lay thee down to die.
Yet would we keep thee in our heart— Would fix our favorite on the scene, Nor let thee utterly depart And be as if thou ne'er hadst been.
And so there rise these lines of verse On lips that rarely form them now; While to each other we rehearse: Such ways, such arts, such looks hadst thou!
​We stroke thy broad brown paws again, We bid thee to thy vacant chair, We greet thee by the window-pane, We hear thy scuffle on the stair.
We see the flaps of thy large ears Quick raised to ask which way we go; Crossing the frozen lake, appears Thy small black figure on the snow!
Nor to us only art thou dear Who mourn thee in thine English home; Thou hast thine absent master's tear, Dropt by the far Australian foam.
Thy memory lasts both here and there, And thou shalt live as long as we. And after that—thou dost not care! In us was all the world to thee.
Yet, fondly zealous for thy fame, Even to a date beyond our own We strive to carry down thy name, By mounded turf, and graven stone.
We lay thee, close within our reach, Here, where the grass is smooth and warm, Between the holly and the beech, Where oft we watch'd thy couchant form,
Asleep, yet lending half an ear To travellers on the Portsmouth road;— There build we thee, O guardian dear, Mark'd with a stone, thy last abode!
​Then some, who through this garden pass, When we too, like thyself, are clay, Shall see thy grave upon the grass, And stop before the stone, and say:
People who lived here long ago Did by this stone, it seems, intend To name for future times to know The dachs-hound, Geist, their little friend.
# The poetical works of Matthew Arnold/Horatian Echo

HORATIAN ECHO.
TO AN AMBITIOUS FRIEND.
Written in 1847. Printed by permission of Mr. Arthur Galton, to whom the Poem was given in 1886 for publication in The Hobby Horse.
Omit, omit, my simple friend, Still to inquire how parties tend, Or what we fix with foreign powers. If France and we are really friends, And what the Russian czar intends, Is no concern of ours.
​Us not the daily quickening race Of the invading populace Shall draw to swell that shouldering herd. Mourn will we not your closing hour, Ye imbeciles in present power, Doom'd, pompous, and absurd!
And let us bear, that they debate Of all the engine-work of state, Of commerce, laws, and policy, The secrets of the world's machine, And what the rights of man may mean, With readier tongue than we.
Only, that with no finer art They cloak the troubles of the heart With pleasant smile, let us take care; Nor with a lighter hand dispose Fresh garlands of this dewy rose, To crown Eugenia's hair.
Of little threads our life is spun, And he spins ill, who misses one. But is thy fair Eugenia cold? Yet Helen had an equal grace, And Juliet's was as fair a face, And now their years are told.
The day approaches, when we must Be crumbling bones and windy dust; And scorn us as our mistress may, Her beauty will no better be Than the poor face she slights in thee, When dawns that day, that day.
