Figurative Language is the stylistic technique employed here.
Explanation:
The poem given here is good example of figurative language as there are many events that are directly or indirectly compared to one another and thus bound seamlessly together to make a beautiful image journey through the lines.
The figurative use of the word wardrobe to open a new world for the person and then their use of imagery to describe their new surroundings is one of the rime and the most clear examples here of that happening.
What is the primary purpose of the couplet in this
sonnet?
Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, restive Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.
- "Sonnet 100,
William Shakespeare
