simile

A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using like or as. There are actually two similes in this line. The first is the comparison of the speaker's body to a harp. The second comparison is the woman's words to a harpist's fingers.

A metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things without using like or as. Personification is giving a non-human thing human-like traits. A motif is a dominant idea in a work of literature.

For me, personally, Romeo's love never seemed real, especially if you take into consideration that Romeo and Juliet knew each other for about a month, or so. You cannot start loving someone in such a short period of time, especially given that Romeo is like 18, and Juliet 14. 
Compared to modern ideas of love, their love is much more romanticized, it no longer exists (if it ever did), and it seems quite unreal.
