Prior, Esq." by Anonymous is a satirical dialogue written in the mid-18th century. This work features the renowned figures Jonathan Swift and Thomas Prior engaging in a spirited conversation about the state of Ireland, reflecting on political, social, and national issues of their time. The dialogue serves to critique the conditions present in Ireland, particularly highlighting themes of patriotism, governance, and public welfare. The opening portion of the dialogue sets a tone of camaraderie mixed with lamentation, as Swift and Prior, now ghosts, discuss the dire circumstances facing Ireland after their deaths. Swift expresses a persistent dissatisfaction over the state of his homeland, suggesting that the dead cannot rest easy knowing their country is plagued by ignorance and neglect. Prior, while echoing a sense of concern, tries to present a more optimistic view regarding potential improvements and the efforts being made towards national betterment. The text weaves together a rich tapestry of wit and poignant critique, detailing their frustration with both the populace's inertia and the perceived indifference of the ruling class, making a powerful case for renewed patriotic duty.
