(a) Examples of alliteration
- When wasteful war shall statues overturn
- Not marble, nor the glided monuments
- But you shall shine more bright in these contents.
- Even in the eyes of all posterity
- That wear this world out to the ending doom.
(b) Use of personification
- When wasteful war shall statues
- And broils root out the work of masonry.
- Here war and broils are shown to have powerful hands that are capable of causing destruction.
- Your praise shall still find room.
Praise has been shown as a person taking his place somewhere.
