# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 11/From Jonathan Swift to Mary Ormond - 1

TO THE DUCHESS OF ORMOND.
ANY other person, of less refinement and prudence than myself, would be at a loss how to thank your grace, upon the surprise of coming home last night, and finding two pictures where only one was demanded. But I understand your grace's malice, and do here affirm you to be the greatest prude upon earth. You will not so much as let your picture be alone in a room with a man, no not with a clergyman, and a clergyman of five and forty; and therefore resolved my lord duke should accompany it, and keep me in awe, that I might not presume to look too often upon it. For my own part, I begin already to repent that I ever begged your grace's picture; and could almost find in my heart to send it you back: for, although it be the most beautiful sight I ever beheld, except the original, yet the veneration and respect it tills me with, will always make me think I am in your grace's presence; will ​hinder me from saying and writing twenty idle things, that used to divert me: will set me labouring upon majestick, sublime ideas, at which I have no manner of talent; and will make those who come to visit me, think I am grown, on the sudden, wonderful stately and reserved. But, in life, we must take the evil with the good; and it is one comfort, that I know how to be revenged. For, the sight of your grace's resemblance will perpetually remind me of paying my duty to your person; which will give your grace the torment, and me the felicity, of a more frequent attendance.
But, after all, to deal plainly with your grace, your picture (and I must say the same of my lord duke's) will be of very little use, farther than to let others see the honour you are pleased to do me: for, all the accomplishments of your mind and person are so deeply printed in the heart, and represent you so lively to my imagination, that I should take it for a high affront, if you believed it in the power of colours to refresh my memory: almost as high a one, as if your grace should deny me the justice of being, with the most profound respect and gratitude, madam, your grace's, &c.

Translation of letter to English: From Jonathan Swift to Monsieur Giraldi - 1 (Translation)
TO MONSIEUR GIRALDI.
DE DUBLIN EN YRLANDE,
JE prens la liberté de vous présenter le porteur de celui-ci, monsieur Howard, gentilhomme savant et de condition de ce pays-ci; qui prétend de faire le tour d'Italie; et qui étant chanoine en mon doyenné et professeur de college ici, veut en voyageant parmi les catholiques s'opiniatrer plus dans son hérésie. Et après tout, monsieur, il n'est que juste, puisque vous avez dérobé notre franchise Angloise pour l'ajouter à votre politesse Italienne que quelques-uns de nous-autres tramontanes devoient en voyageant chez vous faire des représailles. Vous me souffrirez aussi de vous prier de présenter mes très humble devoires à son altesse royale le Grand Duc.
Pour mon particulier, monsieur, je prens la liberté de vous dire, que deux mois devant la mort de la reine, voyant, qu'il étoit tout-à-fait impossible de raccommoder mes amis du ministère, je me ​retirai à la campagne en Berkshire, d'où aprés ce triste événement je suis venu en Irlande, où je demeure en mon doyenné, et attens avec la résignation d'un bon chrétien la ruine de notre cause et de mes amis, menacés tous les jours par la faction dominante. Car ces messieurs sont tout-à-fait résolu de trancher une demi-douzaine de têtes des meilleures d'Angleterre, et que vous avez fort bien connues et estimées. Dieu sait quel en sera l'événement. Pour moi j'ai quitté pour jamais la politique, et avec la permission des bons gens qui sont maintenant en vogue, je demeurerai la reste de ma vie en mon hermitage pour songer à mon salut.
Adieu, monsieur, et me faites la justice de croire, que je suis, avec beaucoup de respect, monsieur, votre, &c.

# The World's Famous Orations/Volume 7/On the Anniversary of Austerlitz

V
ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF AUSTERLITZ
(1806)
Soldiers, it is this day a year ago, at this very hour, that we were upon the memorable plain of Austerlitz. The Russian battalions fled appalled. Their allies are no more. Their fortresses, their capitals, their magazines, their arsenals, twoo ​hundred and eighty stand of colors, seven hundred field-pieces, five grand strongholds are in our power.
The Oder, the Wasta, the Polish deserts, the inclement weather, nothing has been able to arrest your course—all have fled before you. The French eagle hovers over the Vistula. The brave and unfortunate Poles imagine they behold again the legions of Sobieski.
Soldiers, we shall not lay down our arms until a general peace has restored to our commerce its freedom and its colonies. We have conquered on the Elba and the Oder, Pondicherry, our Indian establishments, the Cape of Good Hope, and the Spanish colonies. Who should give the Russians the hope of balancing the destinies? Are not they and we the soldiers of Austerlitz?

# The World's Famous Orations/Volume 7/On Liberty of Worship

II
ON LIBERTY OF WORSHIP
(1793)
Nothing should make us prejudge the safety of the State except actual conditions. We have appeared divided among ourselves, but the instant we occupy ourselves with the good of mankind we are in accord. Vergniaud has just told you grand and immortal truths. The constituent Assembly, embarrassed by a king, by the prejudices which still enchain the nation, and by deep-seated intolerance, could not offend established principles, but still did much for liberty in consecrating the principle of toleration. Today the soil of liberty is clear, and we owe it to the French people to give their government a base, eternal and pure. Yes, we shall say to them: Frenchmen, you have the right to adore the divinity which seems to you worthy of your reverence.
The liberty of worship which your laws can contemplate can only be the liberty of individuals to assemble in their own way to render homage to the Diety. Such liberty can only be attained by legal and police regulation, but certainly you do not wish to insert a regulating ​law in a declaration of right; the right of freedom of worship, a sacred right, will be protected by your laws, which being in harmony with its principles shall have no other object than to guarantee it. Human reason can not retrograde. We have advanced too far for the people to believe that freedom of worship is not theirs, tho they may not see the principle of this liberty graven on the table of your laws.
If superstition seems still to have some share in the disturbances of the Republic, it is because it has been the policy of our enemies always to employ it; but mark: everywhere the people, freed from malevolent instigation, recognize that any one who would interpose between them and their God is an impostor. Everywhere the deportation of fanatical and rebellious priests is demanded. Beware of misconjecturing national opinion; beware of inserting a clause which should contain this unjust presumption; in passing to the order of the day adopt a sort of "previous question" upon the priests, which will do you honor in the eyes of your fellow citizens and of posterity.

# The World's Famous Orations/Volume 7/On Taxing the Rich

III
ON TAXING THE RICH
(1793)
You have decreed an honorable mention of what the Department de l'Herault has believed to make for the public safety. In this decree you authorize the entire Republic to adopt the same measures, for your decree ratifies those which have just been brought to your knowledge. If everywhere the same measures be taken, the Republic is saved. No longer shall be treated as agitators and anarchists those ardent friends of liberty by whom the nation was set in motion, but we shall hear: "Honor to the agitators who turn the vigor of the people against its enemies!" When the temple of liberty shall have been established, the people may be trusted to decorate it. Rather let the soil of France perish than to return beneath a hard slavery; but let no one think we shall become barbarians after our liberty is founded. We shall embellish it; despots shall envy us; but while the ship of state is beaten by the tempest, what belongs to one belongs to all.
Agrarian laws are no longer spoken of; the people are wiser than their calumniators maintain, and the people as a whole have more sense ​than many of those who deem themselves great men. In a people great men are of no more account than giant trees in a vast forest. It was believed that the people wanted the agrarian law; and this idea may cause suspicions to arise as to the measures adopted by the Department de l'Herault — their motives and their decrees will no doubt be perverted. It will be said of them: "They taxed the rich"; but, citizens, to tax the rich is to serve them. It is rather a veritable advantage for them than a considerable sacrifice; the more the sacrifice upon the usufruct, the more is the principal guaranteed against the invasion of enemies. It is an appeal to every man of means to save the Republic. The appeal is just. What the Department de l'Herault has done, Paris and all France will do.
See what resources France will procure. Paris is rich and luxurious; well, by decree, this sponge is going to be squeezed, and by a gratifying singularity it will be found that the people will carry on the revolution at the expense of their internal enemies. These enemies themselves will learn the price of liberty; they will desire to possess it, when they have recognized that it has preserved their possessions. Paris, in making an appeal to capitalists, will furnish her contingent, which will afford means to suppress the troubles in la Vendée; for, at any sacrifice, these troubles must be suppressed. On this alone depends your external tranquillity.

# To S. S. Osgood

Dedicated to the poet's husband, painter Samuel Stillman Osgood.
Suggested by an unfinished picture.
Forgive my weaker spirit, if it sigh  To see thee—careless of what others call Renown—toil on with rapt, thrill'd heart and eye,  Thy very life to thy loved task in thrall!— I sigh, while calmly silent thou dost smile, Kindling the canvas with thy soul the while!  Yet oh! believe the sigh is worthy thee:  It is not breathed because thou bend'st no knee For praise or gold;—because thy pride would shame  To bribe the hireling critic's supple pen, That moves obedient to its master's chains; Because thy soul, serene in power, disdains  The common meed that genius earns of men. No—the lone eagle sunward soars for glory, Above the rainbow's evanescent story; And thou, my gifted one! I know thy name The great and true shall keep. Thou shalt not stoop to Fame!

I received your letter dated the 15th of June, and am very sorry to find things are in no better way. I have wrote by this Post to Col Maitland to beg he will intercede with the governor for me, and would have you wait on him, and let me know what he says. If you see any probability of getting the lands I would have you stay by all means; but if you think there is no likelihood of it, you had better come home and join the Regt again.
I think Mr. Webb seems rather to trifle in the affair than any-thing else. I have paid your bill and beg you to make my Compts on Mr. Wallace & tell him i will pay any bill of yours at Mr. Reeds in London.
                                           I am Your Humble Sert.

Serjt Carr,
I am sorry you did not write me with your own hands and let me know exactly how the affair stands, what is the reason why the lands is not located and when they are likely to be located. I shall expect to hear from you regularly three times a year whether you have business or no.
You must attend the survey as it will be of great consequence you being present - I shall be very impatient till I hear from you & get your opinion about the affair how it stands.

# To Sally

* To Sally
* The man in righteousness arrayed,
* A pure and blameless liver,
* Needs not the keen Toledo blade,
* Nor venom-freighted quiver.
* What though he wind his toilsome way
* O’er regions wild and weary—
* Through Zara’s burning desert stray,
* Or Asia’s jungles dreary:
* What though he plough the billowy deep
* By lunar light, or solar,
* Meet the resistless Simoon’s sweep,
* Or iceberg circumpolar!
* In bog or quagmire deep and dank
* His foot shall never settle;
* He mounts the summit of Mont Blanc,
* Or Popocatapetl.
* On Chimborazo’s breathless height
* He treads o’er burning lava;
* Or snuffs the Bohan Upas blight,
* The deathful plant of Java.
* Through every peril he shall pass,
* By Virtue’s shield protected;
* And still by Truth’s unerring glass
* His path shall be directed.
* Else wherefore was it, Thursday last,
* While strolling down the valley,
* Defenceless, musing as I passed
* A canzonet to Sally,
* A wolf, with mouth-protruding snout,
* Forth from the thicket bounded—
* I clapped my hands and raised a shout—
* He heard—and fled—confounded.
* Tangier nor Tunis never bred
* An animal more crabbed;
* Nor Fez, dry-nurse of lions, fed
* A monster half so rabid;
* Nor Ararat so fierce a beast
* Has seen since days of Noah;
* Nor stronger, eager for a feast,
* The fell constrictor boa.
* Oh! place me where the solar beam
* Has scorched all verdure vernal;
* Or on the polar verge extreme,
* Blocked up with ice eternal—
* Still shall my voice’s tender lays
* Of love remain unbroken;
* And still my charming Sally praise,
* Sweet smiling and sweet spoken.

I have just now received your letter and shall take care and pay your bill. I am glad to find that there is now some likelyhood of getting the lands located and you put upon them therefore would have you go to the spot and assist in the surveying of them, and endeavor to get them in the best situation and everything belonging to them and write me by the very first opportunity as I shall be impatient till I hear your report — I will take care to keep you as long as possible I can in the Regt. and will speak to Col Ross to recommend you to Genl Gage and Mr. Ogilvie when I go to Ireland as I am certain his recommendations will have much more weight than mine — when ever you write do it on a single sheet of paper as it makes the postage to high when its enclosed.

I received your [letter] dated 18th June an am so sorry you did not get the land surveyed when you was up at Schenectady as it will be a loss of time. I shall write by this packet to Mr. Webb to let you have Provisions and money, and every assistance in his Power; I intend being out myself in the year 1771, or 1772 at farthest, and if I can get two boys bound to me till they are of age I will bring them out with me. Let me have every particular about the land in your next, as to situation, distance from Mohawk river, from Fort Stanwyx, its quality &c. I hope it will be as good a situation as that land on the Susquehanna otherwise my friends Col Maitland & Mr. Webb have done wrong for I never should have considered the purchaise money myself had I been on the spot.
Send me a particular account of everything necessary for the Stocking your farm &c. I have paid your bill of twelve pounds to Jas Jarvis, there has been no prize money paid since you left the Regt whenever there is I shall take care of yours; you talk of a private man's share, what man is it pray — I would have you fix on somebody in Albany or Schenectady where you can send your letters to be forwarded to me from the lands when you have gote settled upon them, and I would have you write me every two months what you are doing &c.
I have never seen Col Ross since I gote Mr. Wallaces letter about Col Murrays affair & have been only once at the Regt & only stayed a few days but I wrote Mr Scott about it and he promised to inquire into it if it can be settled I will do it for him with all my heart. Pray let me know your opinion in regard to setling the lands, whether people can be gote to rent them, or what method will be the best to pursue — Whenever you draw on me make your bills at 60 days sight — I would have you lose no time in getting yourself fixed upon the lands as the sooner the better; Let me know whether the Country is settled near the lands & how far up &c. and if there is any runs of water or rivers upon the Lands.
