Personification:

"How soon, my Dear, death may my steps attend"

Alliteration:

"With some sad sighs honor my absent hearse"

Parallelism:

"How soon, my Dear, death may my steps attend, How soon't may be thy lot to lose thy friend."

Personification:

"if any worth or virtue were in me, let that live freshly in thy memory"
