Imagery

"This is Ercles' vein, a tyrant's vein."
Allusion

“The course of true love never did run smooth”
Personification

"So we grew together,
Like to a double cherry,
seeming parted,
But yet an union in partition."

Similie

"I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear…
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.
"

Allusion

"Love looks not with the eyes,
but with the mind,
and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind"

Personification, Rhyming

"Swift as a shadow,
short as any dream;
Brief as the lightning in the collied night."

Similie

"Jack shall have Jill;
Nought shall go ill;
The man shall have his mare again, and all shall be well."

Allusion

"Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire,
I do wander everywhere."

Rhyming, alliteration

"My heart is true as steel."
Similie

"Two lovely berries moulded on one stem;
So,
with two seeming bodies,
but one heart."

Metaphor

"Cupid is a knavish lad"
Allusion

"Whereat with blade, with bloody blameful blade,
He bravely broached his boiling bloody breast."

Alliteration

"A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing."
Metaphor
