Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D.D., Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 2 of 24: Arranged by Thomas Sheridan, A. M., With Notes, Historical and Critical

A subject, which, in one of his singular character, is more likely to excite curiosity than any other. We know there were two ladies, represented by him as the most accomplished of their sex, adorned with all the charms and graces, both of person and mind, that might penetrate the most obdurate breast, whose hearts were wholly devoted to him. We know too that he had a just sense of their value, that he lived on terms of the closest friendship with both, but it does not appear that he ever made a suitable return of love to either.
