False!!

The simple way to put the definition of Onomatopoeia is that Onomatopoeia are sound effects in text.

Here are some examples:

Boom, pow, ding dong, tick tock, honk, beep, vroom, clang, zap, boing, uckoo, whip-poor-will, whooping crane, chickadee, crash, whack, thump, bang, shush, giggle, growl, whine, murmur, blurt, whisper, hiss.

hope that helps!!

John 3:16 ; For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life

Answer: The line "o'er a perfumed sea" is not a onomatopoeia. An onomatopoeia is actually a word that is the formation of a sound (Buzz, zip, pow, boom). So the answer is false.
