      1. Extended Metaphor: The extended metaphor of the persona’s beloved being a “harbour” or “port” is carried through the poem.
      2. Anaphora: One such example would be the lines “Done with the Compass/Done with the Chart!” with the repetition of the phrase “Done with” at the beginning of these lines.
      3. Apostrophe: Apostrophe can be seen when the persona directly addresses their beloved with the word “thee”.
