Answer: Swift uses irony when he says the person with whom he discussed his plan is “very worthy” and “a true lover of this country.”

In the excerpt, Swift tells us of his discussion with a man. He describes the man as "very worthy" and "a true lover of his country." However, the man complains about the diminishing number of deer, and his proposed solution is to eat boys and girls between 12 and 14 years of age. Therefore, the description of the man is ironic, as he is not worthy or loving at all.
