An example of allusion in this would be "Cupid" because he is alluding to the famous character in mythology.
Ex. of an allusion to help you better understand: if it's capitalized in the middle of a sentence, it's sure to be an allusion. An allusion can be a significant place, landmark, or person; for example, Barack Obama or the Eiffel Tower.

An example of a hyperbole from the excerpt would be "sick in love" (I think. Shakespeare is a little tough to understand, even for me, lol) because the statement is exaggerated.

I hope this helped! ♥
