Are there any literary devices in shakespeare's sonnet 25?

Question

Which ones are used and what are they

which ones are used and where in the sonnet are they used?

Answer 1

rhyme scheme, alliteration, iambic pentameter, punctuation, the structure of a traditional shakespearean sonnet (3 quatrains of four lines and a couplet of 2 lines), assonance (the repitition of vowel sounds within a word...not the same as rhyming), consonance (the repitition of consonant sounds within a word)
shakespeare is usually pretty predictable. if you need more help though, wikipedia is great. just search shakespeare's sonnet 25

i'm sure there are. Why don't you google literary devices. Aren't things like rythm and rhyme literary devices?
Have you attended any classes on l.d.'s?
just go through the list, and check them off as you do.

XXV.

Let those who are in favour with their stars
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars,
Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.
Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread
But as the marigold at the sun's eye,
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
For at a frown they in their glory die.
The painful warrior famoused for fight,
After a thousand victories once foil'd,
Is from the book of honour razed quite,
And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd:
Then happy I, that love and am belov'd,
Where I may not remove nor be removed

Answer 4

I'm sure there are, I haven't read anything by shakespeare without lit devices. Some common ones (l.d.s) are;

simile (comparision using like or as)

metaphor (direct comparision; without like or as)

alliteration (repitition of a letter or sound; the blind bow boy's buttshaft- alliteration of the b sound-it doesn't have to be at the beginning of the words-- pardon the strange quote- it was the first thing that came to mind- it's from one of his plays)

allusion (reference to something- esp. gods or mythical figures--Hit with love's arrow-allusion to cupid)

those are the only ones i can think of right now, but they are very common- I'm sure you can find something.
