1. Repetition
And a pain still throbs in the <u>old, old</u> scars
2. Simile
And the river flows <u>like a stream of glass</u>;
3. Personification
Till <u>its blood is red</u> on the cruel bars;
4. Alliteration
When he <u>beats</u> his <u>bars</u> and he would be free;
5. Personification
When his wing is bruised and <u>his bosom sore</u>,--
6. Alliteration
When the wind <u>stirs soft</u> through the springing grass,

The rhythm, the rhyme, the meter and the cadence of the words used dictates the sound of the poem.
Explanation:
The rhythm of the words used depends on the stress of the syllables that are employed in the poem and give them their sound.
The cadence is similar and often relates to the theme of the poem in that a brooding poem will have harsher sounding words while a child's poem will roll off the tongue.
Rhyme is the use of similar sounding words at the end of the sentence.
Meter is the combination of number of stressed and unstressed syllables used in a poem in every line giving it its length and the structure.
The word milton is a trochee.
A trochee is a metric foot with a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable. Milton is pronounced MILton. If Milton was an iamb, it would not vary from the traditional iambic pattern. Milton cannot be a dactyl because a dactyl is three syllables. The first syllable is stressed and is followed by two stressed syllables.
Pleasures make people neglect their long-term goals. In this case, they were trying to get back home, but when they ate the lotuses, they forgot about it.
