I may assert eternal providence,
And justify the ways of God to men.
Say first, for Heav’n hides nothing from thy view
Nor the deep tract of Hell, say first what cause
Moved our grand parents in that happy state,
Favored of Heav’n so highly, to fall off
From their Creator, and transgress his will
<span>For one restraint, lords of the world besides?

</span>The two sets of lines marked in bold are the enjambed lines in this excerpt. 
This book by John Milton was published in the 17th century. It is a biblical story regarding Adam and Eve, the fallen angel Satan who tempts them in the Garden of Eden, and their expulsion. Milton wanted to justify God's actions towards men.

What rhetorical device does Twain use by referencing this well-known proverb
liraira [26]

Even though the proverb was not posted here, this question is still perfectly answerable.

Answer:

The rhetorical device Twain uses by referencing a well-known proverb is allusion.

Explanation:

<u>Allusion is a figure of speech in which a reference is made to something or someone that has significance. The author does not explain much, since he/she assumes the audience knows who or what he/she refers to. </u>

<u>For instance, if someone says a woman is as beautiful as Helen of Troy, we would understand he/she means that woman is extremely beautiful. Helen of Troy is a famous character from the </u><u><em>Iliad</em></u><u>, by Homer, and she was the most beautiful woman in the world. The person making the allusion will not explain this fact, since it is well know.</u>

Therefore, if Twain is referring to a well-known proverb, he is making an allusion to it.
