   • Alliteration: A couple of examples would be “Some second” and “A bracelet of bright hair about the bone”.
   • Metaphor: In the lines “(For graves have learn’d that woman head,/ To be to more than one a bed)”, women are metaphorically compared to graves.
   • Apostrophe: In the phrase “Thou shalt be a Mary Magdalen”, with the word “Thou”, the persona directly addresses their beloved, making it an example of apostrophe.
