What are the main literary devices of From Phyllis by Thomas Lodge?

In Thomas
Lodge's "To Phyllis," the first notable literary device is perhaps the
in lines six and seven. Here the speaker says that his Phyllis has
"prime-feathered flowers / That smile when she treads on them." The flowers are
personified to suggest that nature, which the flowers symbolize, is enamored with
Phyllis.

In the ninth line the speaker employs a
when he says that Phylis has "so hard a heart." Her
heart of course is not literally hard, but the metaphor implies that she is unsympathetic, and
emotionally cold. Perhaps the implication is that Phyllis does not respond, in the way that he
would like, to the speaker's attentions.

At the end of the poem, in the final
two lines, there is a rhyming . In these lines the speaker asks the
flowers to ask Phyllis to see him before he dies. A rhyming couplet at the end of a poem often
indicates some kind of closure, or resolution. The resolution in this poem seems to be that the
speaker will die if Phyllis does not return his love.

This resolution is
especially tragic when contrasted to the repetition of the phrase
"My Phyllis" at the beginning of the poem. The repetition of the possessive pronoun
"My" implies that the speaker considers Phyllis to, in some sense, belong to him. At
the end of the poem, the speaker realizes that Phyllis does not belong to him at all, at least
not in the sense that he craves. She evidently does not love him, despite the love which he
obviously has for her.
