# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 11/From Joseph Addison to Jonathan Swift - 7

FROM MR. ADDISON.
MULTIPLICITY of business and a long dangerous fit of sickness have prevented me from answering the obliging letter you honoured me with some time since; but, God be thanked, I cannot make use of either of these excuses at present, being entirely free both of my office and my asthma. I dare not however venture myself abroad yet, but have sent the contents of your last to a friend of mine (for he is very much so, though he is my successor) who I hope will turn it to the advantage of the gentleman whom you mention. I know you have so much zeal and pleasure in doing kind offices for those you wish well to, that I hope you represent the hardship of the case in the strongest colours, that it can possibly bear. However, as I always honoured you for your good nature, which is a very odd quality to celebrate in a man who has talents so much more shining in ​the eyes of the world, I should be glad if I could any way concur with you, in putting a stop to what you say is now in agitation.
I must here condole with you upon the loss of that excellent man, the bishop of Derry, who has scarce left behind him his equal in humanity, agreeable conversation, and all kinds of learning. We have often talked of you with great pleasure; and, upon this occasion, I cannot but reflect upon myself, who, at the same time that I omit no opportunity of expressing my esteem for you to others, have been so negligent in doing it to yourself. I have several times taken up my pen to write to you, but have been always interrupted by some impertinence or other; and to tell you unreservedly, I have been unwilling to answer so agreeable a letter as that I received from you, with one written in form only; but I must still have continued silent, had I deferred writing, till I could have made a suitable return. Shall we never again talk together in laconick? Whenever you see England, your company will be the most acceptable in the world at Holland house, where you are highly esteemed by lady Warwick, and the young lord; though by none any where more than by, sir, your most faithful and most obedient humble servant,
J. ADDISON.
* ↑ Of secretary of state, which post Mr. Addison resigned on the fourteenth of March, 1717-18, and had a pension granted him of one thousand five hundred pounds a year.
* ↑ James Craggs, esq.
* ↑ Dr. St. George Ashe, formerly fellow and provost of the university of Dublin, who had been Swift's tutor at Dublin college. He was made bishop of Clogher, June 25, 1697, and translated to Derry, Feb. 27, 1716.
* ↑ The dean had lodgings at Kensington in the summer of 1712 (see vol. XV, p. 306); and Mr. Addison lived there at the same time, being some years before his marriage with the countess of Warwick. Lysons, vol. III, p. 182.

MR. ADDISON TO THE SAME.
I AM heartily glad to hear you are so near us. If you will deliver the enclosed to the captain of the Wolf, I dare say he will accommodate you with all in his power. If he has left Chester, I have sent you a bill according to the bishop of Clogher's desire, of whom I have a thousand good things to say. I do not ask your excuse about the yacht, because I don't want it, as you shall hear at Dublin: if I did, I should think myself ​inexcusable. I long to talk over all affairs with you, and am ever, dear sir, your's most entirely,
J. ADDISON.
P. S. The yacht will come over with the acts of parliament, and a convoy about a week hence, which opportunity you may lay hold of, if you do not like the Wolf. I will give orders accordingly.

MR. ADDISON TO THE SAME.
I THINK it very hard I should be in the same kingdom with Dr. Swift, and not have the happiness of his company once in three days. The bishop of Clogher intends to call on you this morning, as will your humble servant in my return from Chappel Izzard, whither I am just now going.
Your humble servant,
J. ADDISON.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 11/From Joseph Addison to Jonathan Swift - 5

MR. ADDISON TO THE SAME.
I HAVE run so much in debt with you, that I do not know how to excuse myself, and therefore shall throw myself wholly upon your good nature; and promise, if you will pardon what is passed, to be more punctual with you for the future. I hope to have the happiness of waiting on you very suddenly at Dublin, and do not at all regret the leaving ​of England, while I am going to a place, where I shall have the satisfaction and honour of Dr. Swift's conversation. I shall not trouble you with any occurrences here, because I hope to have the pleasure of talking over all affairs with you very suddenly. We hope to be at Holyhead by the 30th instant. Lady Wharton stays in England. I suppose you know, that I obeyed your's, and the bishop of Clogher's commands, in relation to Mr. Smith; for I desired Mr. Dawson to acquaint you with it. I must beg my most humble duty to the bishop of Clogher. I heartily long to eat a dish of bacon and beans in the best company in the world. Mr. Steele and I often drink your health.
I am forced to give myself airs of a punctual correspondence with you in discourse with your friends at St. James's coffeehouse, who are always asking me questions about you, when they have a mind to pay their court to me, if I may use so magnificent a phrase. Pray, dear doctor, continue your friendship toward me, who love and esteem you, if possible, as much as you deserve. I am ever, dear sir, your's entirely,
J. ADDISON.
# The World's Famous Orations/Volume 7/His Last Speech

HIS LAST SPEECH
(1794)
The enemies of the Republic call me tyrant! Were I such they would grovel at, my feet. I should gorge them with gold, I should grant them impunity for their crimes, and they would be grateful. Were I such, the kings we have vanquished, far from denouncing Robespierre, would lend me their guilty support. There would be a covenant between them and me. Tyranny must have tools. But the enemies of tyranny — whither does their path tend? To the tomb, and to immortality! What tyrant is my protector? To what faction do I belong? Yourselves! What faction, since the beginning ​of the Revolution, has crushed and annihilated so many detected traitors? You, the people — our principles — are that faction! A faction to which I am devoted, and against which all the scoundrelism of the day is banded!
The confirmation of the Republic has been my object; and I know that the Republic can be established only on the eternal basis of morality. Against me, and against those who hold kindred principles, the league is formed. My life? Oh, my life I abandon without a regret! I have seen the Past; and I foresee the Future. What friend of his country would wish to survive the moment when he could no longer serve it — when he could no longer defend innocence against oppression? Wherefore should I continue in an order of things, where intrigue eternally triumphs over truth; where justice is mocked; where passions the most abject, or fears the most absurd, override the sacred interests of humanity? In witnessing the multitude of vices which the torrent of the Revolution has rolled in turbid communion with its civic virtues, I confess that I have sometimes feared that I should be sullied, in the eyes of posterity, by the impure neighborhood of unprincipled men, who had thrust themselves into association with the sincere friends of humanity; and I rejoice that these conspirators against my country have now, by their reckless rage, traced deep the line of demarcation between themselves and all true men.
​Question history, and learn how all the defenders of liberty, in all times, have been overwhelmed by calumny. But their traducers died also. The good and the bad disappear alike from the earth; but in very different conditions. O Frenchmen! O my countrymen! Let not your enemies, with their desolating doctrines, degrade your souls, and enervate your virtues! No, Chaumette, no! Death is not "an eternal sleep!" Citizens! efface from the tomb that motto, graven by sacrilegious hands, which spreads over all nature a funereal crape, takes from oppressed innocence its support, and affronts the beneficent dispensation of death! Inscribe rather thereon these words: "Death is the commencement of immortality!" I leave to the oppressors of the people a terrible testament, which I proclaim with the independence befitting one whose career is so nearly ended; it is the awful truth: "Thou shalt die!"

# The town down the river; a book of poems/But for the Grace of God

BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD
"There, but for the grace of God, goes . . ."
There is a question that I ask, And ask again: What hunger was half-hidden by the mask That he wore then?
There was a word for me to say That I said not; And in the past there was another day That I forgot:
A dreary, cold, unwholesome day, Racked overhead,— As if the world were turning the wrong way, And the sun dead:
A day that comes back well enough Now he is gone. What then? Has memory no other stuff To seize upon?
Wherever he may wander now In his despair, Would he be more contented in the slough If all were there?
And yet he brought a kind of light Into the room; And when he left, a tinge of something bright Survived the gloom.
Why will he not be where he is, And not with me? The hours that are my life are mine, not his,— Or used to be.
What numerous imps invisible Has he at hand, Far-flying and forlorn as what they tell At his command?
What hold of weirdness or of worth Can he possess, That he may speak from anywhere on earth His loneliness?
Shall I be caught and held again In the old net?— He brought a sorry sunbeam with him then, But it beams yet.
# The town down the river; a book of poems/How Annandale Went Out

HOW ANNANDALE WENT OUT
"They called it Annandale—and I was there To flourish, to find words, and to attend: Liar, physician, hypocrite, and friend, I watched him; and the sight was not so fair As one or two that I have seen elsewhere: An apparatus not for me to mend— A wreck, with hell between him and the end, Remained of Annandale; and I was there.
"I knew the ruin as I knew the man; So put the two together, if you can, Remembering the worst you know of me. Now view yourself as I was, on the spot— With a slight kind of engine. Do you see? Like this . . . You wouldn't hang me? I thought not."
# The town down the river; a book of poems/Calverly's

CALVERLY'S
We go no more to Calverly's, For there the lights are few and low; And who are there to see by them, Or what they see, we do not know. Poor strangers of another tongue May now creep in from anywhere, And we, forgotten, be no more Than twilight on a ruin there.
We two, the remnant. All the rest Are cold and quiet. You nor I, Nor fiddle now, nor flagon-lid, May ring them back from where they lie. No fame delays oblivion For them, but something yet survives: A record written fair, could we But read the book of scattered lives.
There'll be a page for Leffingwell, And one for Lingard, the Moon-calf; And who knows what for Clavering, Who died because he couldn't laugh? Who knows or cares? No sign is here, No face, no voice, no memory; No Lingard with his eerie joy, No Clavering, no Calverly.
We cannot have them here with us To say where their light lives are gone, Or if they be of other stuff Than are the moons of Ilion. So, be their place of one estate With ashes, echoes, and old wars,— Or ever we be of the night, Or we be lost among the stars.
