  • The author used lexical repetitions to emphasize a significant image; drive, from, of, to, forge, thy, leave, as, in, with, heard, and, welcome, for, at, not, her, his, let, how, lest, thou, thus, hast, him, may are repeated.

    The poet used anaphora at the beginnings of some neighboring lines. The same words from, i, drive, on, forge, nor, forged, to, let, heard, 'twas, leave, hasten, thou, as, with, hear, welcome, for, till, when, 'whither, plenty, was, in, took, thus, how, underneath, why, lest, that, have are repeated.

    The literary device anadiplosis is detected in two or more neighboring lines. The words/phrases honey, welcome, hostess, basket connect the lines.
