Sound and Sense by Alexander Pope 
-
-
-
Stylistic :star:
simile
But when loud surges lash the sounding shore,
The hoarse, rough verse should like the torrent roar
(The author compares the ocean to the sound of poetry with the help of simile) lines 7-8
True ease in writing comes from art, not chance,
As those move easiest who have learned to dance.
(The author compares art of writing to learning of dance)
Allusion
Timotheus, a Greek poet (line 13)
Ajax, from Homer's Iliad (lines 9-10)
Camilla, from Virgil's Aeneid (lines 11-12)
metaphore
Soft is the strain when Zephyr gently blows,
And the smooth stream in smoother numbers flows;
(shows the difference between the art of writing and nature) lines 5-6
Syntactical :star:
Parallelism
(lines 5-14). By this device the author express' sound and sense. The first line of the couplet provides with the example of an image, while the second one shows how this image should sound.
Metre :star:
-
A heroic couplet is a pair of lines that rhyme and that are written in the rhythm of iambic pentameter.
Iambic pentameter means 'five iambs' (penta means 'five', like in the word pentagon to describe a five sided shape).
