Speedy old satirist (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swift

I believe this is a double definition.

'speedy' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'old satirist' is the second definition.
(I know that Swift is a satirist)

(Other definitions for swift that I've seen before include "Speedy - bird like a swallow" , "Happening quickly; author" , "A bird; Gulliver author" , "writer of satire" , "Anglo-Irish satirist" .)
