      This poem consists of a myriad of poetic devices, some of which are as follows:

      • Alliteration: A couple of examples would be “fair flower” and “Blest babe”. 


      • Metaphor: The phrases “the pleasure of mine eye” and “fair flower” metaphorically denote the persona’s grandchild. 


      • Anaphora: One such example would be the lines: “Farewell dear babe, my heart’s too much content/Farewell sweet babe, the pleasure of mine eye/ Farewell fair flower that for a space was lent” with the repetition of the word “Farewell” at the beginning of each line.
