2. Alliteration: "From forth the fatal loins of these two foes"


3. Oxymoron: "O loving hate!"


4. Allusion: "Even or odd, of all days in the year, Come Lammas-eve at night shall she be fourteen"


5. Metaphor: O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with you. She is the fairies' midwife,"


6. Hyperbole: It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!"


7. Irony: "What, drawn, and talk of peace!"
