10.  When the whole race of mankind had thus cast their burthens, the phantom, which had been so busy on this occasion, seeing me an idle spectator of what passed, approached towards me.  I grew uneasy at her presence, when, on a sudden, she laid her magnifying glass full before my eyes.  I no sooner saw my face in it but was startled at the shortness of it, which now appeared to me in its utmost aggravation.

11.  The immoderate breadth of my features made me very much out of humour with my own countenance, upon which I threw it from me like a mask.  It happened very luckily, that one who stood by me had just before thrown down his visage, which, it satins, was too long for him.  It was, indeed, extended to a most shameful length; I believe the very chin was, modestly speaking, as long as my whole face.

12.  We had both of us an opportunity of mending ourselves, and all the contributions being now brought in, every man was at liberty to exchange his misfortune for those of another person.  But as there arose many new incidents in the sequel of my vision, I shall pursue this subject further, as the moral which may be drawn from it, is applicable to persons of all degrees and stations in life.

13.  I gave my reader a sight of that mountain of miseries, which was made up of those several calamities that afflict the minds of men.  I saw with unspeakable pleasure, the whole species thus delivered from its sorrows; though, at the same time, as we stood round the heap, and surveyed the several materials of which it was composed, there was scarce a mortal, in this vast multitude, who did not discover what he thought pleasures and blessings of life; and wondered how the owners of them ever came to look upon them as burthens and grievances.

14.  As we were regarding very attentively this confusion of miseries, this chaos of calamity, Jupiter issued out a second proclamation, that every one was now at liberty to exchange his affliction, and to return to his habitation with any such other bundle as should be delivered to him.

15.  Upon this, Fancy began again to bestir herself, and parcelling out the whole heap, with incredible activity, recommended to every one his particular packet.  The hurry and confusion at this time was not to be expressed.  Some observations which I made upon the occasion, I shall communicate to the reader.  A venerable grey-headed man, who had laid down his cholic, and who, I found, wanted an heir to his estate, snatched up an undutiful son, that had been thrown into the heap by his angry father.

16.  The graceless youth, in less than a quarter of an hour, pulled the old gentleman by the beard, and had like to have knocked his brains out; so that meeting the true father, who came toward him in a fit of the gripes, he begged him to take his son again, and give him back his cholic; but they were incapable either of them to recede from the choice they had made.
