What does landlords who have already devoured most of the parents mean?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Swift meant that the landlords had devoured them in a metaphorical sense- the landlords, who were largely the beneficiaries of the English conquest of Ireland, charged very high rent to their tenants, so that a large portion of the tenant's life was spent working to pay the rent to these colonial plutocrats instead of improving their own station. In this sense, the landlords, as a sort of parasitic class, were 'devouring' the peasantry. Much of Swift's essay is a condemnation of the conditions in which the British colonial rule kept the Irish peasants.

What does captive-born mean?
In relation to animals (using reptiles as an example) it means the 'parents' were wild-caught (as opposed to being bred in captivity) but the babies were born soon after the parents were caught - probably because the female was already gravid when collected. This is in contrast to babies that were captive bred - in that the parents were already products of previous generations bred in captivity.
