Figure of speech, also called imagery, is any way of saying something other than the ordinary way, that is, the way of saying one thing and meaning another. ... Some figures of speech are based on comparisons, such as similes, metaphors and personification. ...
The first figure of speech found, and the most used here, is the metaphor, which can be seen in the following lines:
(1) had we but world enough „° a very long life
(4) pass our long love¡¦s day „° the day they will finally have sex
(11) my vegetable love „° comparing his love that grows as vegetables
(12) vaster than empires „° very large, big
(18) the last age should show your heart „° she would giver herself to him
(24) deserts of vast eternity „° the vast emptiness of their past
(27, 28) then worms shall try / that long preserved virginity „° they will eat her virgin body
(29, 30) your quaint honour turn to dust / and into ashes all my lust „° come to an end
(33) while the youthful hue „° youth
(35, 36) thy willing soul transpires / at every pore with instant fires „° have strong desire
(43, 44) tear our pleasures .
