A list drawn up by Dean Swift for personal conduct when he grows old. It urges abstaining from marriage to a young woman, limiting company, avoiding peevishness or vanity, not repeating stories, tolerating youth, seeking honest feedback, speaking little of self, resisting flattery, and not overestimating adherence to the rules. It ends with a caution to reform if he breaks any, and not to be overly confident in his discipline.
