The false premise on which this excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" relies is <em>that a woman would be willing to breed children to sell</em>.

In "A Modest Proposal", Jonathan Swift writes about how Ireland is suffering for being under British rule. He writes about how impoverished couples have trouble feeding their children. Mothers have to beg on the streets carrying their children with them. To avoid this, Swift suggests that women should breastfeed their children till the age of one and then sell them to rich English landowners as food. Swift does not want Irish mother to sell their children, this is a satire in which humor and irony are used.

Both "I Look Into My Glass" and "When You Are Old" include a point of view of
Slav-nsk [51]

Both poems from different authors include a point of view of aging.

I look into my Glass by Thomas Hardy talks about himself and how he notices the big change he had as he was growing old, he talks about his feeling and how they're still the ones he had once as a young man.

When you are old by William Buttler Yeats talks about his beloved one and the kind of love people may have towards her, this poem was written way before she was old but it is possible that it was a thought about the years to come.
