The literary device that Swift uses is verbal irony personification.The correct answer is the second one. It occurs when a speaker speaks something contradictory to what he intends to say. It is an intentional product of the speaker, and it is contradictory to the author's emotions and actions. It is also used by them to convey exactly the opposite of what they intend to say.
Verbal Irony. Swift shows verbal irony by stating the exact opposite of the intended meaning.
