Paperback! You can download it right away, so it doesn’t take a long time to get.
You could also try Adobe Pro fonts with swashes… Caslon, Garamond, Minion, even Warnock.

None are free, but they are all reasonably priced.
Thanks for the quick turnaround. I didn't have access to my Caslon swashes at home. I went with Monotype Corsiva. I had it pre-selected as one of my choices. Paperback is pretty nice. I'll be looking to use it sometime in the future.
Here's what I came up with on the fly (1 hour):
Don't do it! Swash caps were not meant to be used in all caps settings!!!
