  Satirize \Sat"ir*ize\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Satirized}; p. pr. &
     vb. n. {Satirizing}.] [Cf. F. satiriser.]
     To make the object of satire; to attack with satire; to

           It is as hard to satirize well a man of distinguished
           vices, as to praise well a man of distinguished
           virtues.                                 --Swift.
     [1913 Webster]
