Literary devices? coward, of heroic size, in whose lazy muscles lies strength we fear and yet despise; savage, whose relentless tusks are content with acorn husks; robber, whose exploits ne'er soared o'er the bee's or squirrel's hoard; whiskered chin and feeble nose, claws of steel on baby toes, here, in solitude and shade, shambling, shuffling plantigrade, be thy courses undismayed! here, where nature makes thy bed, let thy rude, half-human tread point to hidden indian springs, lost in ferns and fragrant grasses, hovered o'er by timid wings, where the wood-duck lightly passes, where the wild bee holds her sweets, epicurean retreats, fit for thee, and better than fearful spoils of dangerous man. in thy fat-jowled deviltry friar tuck shall live in thee; thou mayst levy tithe and dole; thou shalt spread the woodland cheer, from the pilgrim taking toll; match thy cunning with his fear; eat, and drink, and have thy fill; yet remain an outlaw still!

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
