2. Which poetic devices are used in the following paragraphs?

"Continuous as the stars that shine.
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line,
Along the margin of a bay"​

an extended metaphor is used to compare to “the stars that shine”. Also this poem excerpt has a ABAB rhyme scheme. The descriptions in utilize imagery to convey their point.
