SWIFT _(waking):_

Am I all that?

Then I'll reform my ways.

_(Reforms his ways.)_

Ah! had I known

How sweet it is to be an honest man

I never would have stooped to turn my coat

For public favor, as chameleons take

The hue (as near as they can judge) of that

Supporting them. Henceforth I'll buy

With money all the offices I need,

And know the pleasure of an honest life,

Or stay forever in this dismal place.

Now that I'm good, it will no longer do

To make a third with such, a wicked two.

_(Returns to his tomb.)_
