John Donne has cleverly and extensively used tools of figures of speech in this poem, mainly by use of simile, metaphor, pun, personification, hyperbole etc.
The title of the poem is itself a metaphor for “waking up to a new life”
Similarly, use of Hyperbole, metaphor, simile, and pun is used in the opening lines,
“I Wonder by my troth, what thou, and I
Did, till we lov’d? were we not wean’d till then?
But suck’d on countrey pleasures, childishly?
Or snorted we in the seaven sleepers den?”
