A CONCLUSION

Jonathan Swift

Since Anna, whose bounty thy merits had fed, Ere her own was laid low, had exalted thy head: And since our good queen to the wise is so just, To raise heads for such as are humbled in dust,

I wonder, good man, that you are not envaulted; Prithee go, and be dead, and be doubly exalted.
