Jonathan Swift was quite an interesting man,
When he was born on Nov. 30, 1667; he had no father.
Thus being born into a poor family, he was given to his rich uncle.
He was then put into a very preppy private school,
Where he would get his bachelors degree at the age of 14.
He might have married back in 1716, its not fully known.
Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through. (Jonathan Swift)
Swift, the greatest writer of English prose, and the greatest man who has ever written great English prose.
(T.S. Eliot, The Varieties of Metaphysical Poetry, 1926)
