Identify the italicized figure of speech.

methought i saw my late espoused saint
brought to me, like alcestis, from the grave,
whom jove's great son to her glad husband gave,
rescu'd from death by force, though pale and faint.
mine, as whom wash'd from spot of child-bed taint
purification in the old law did save,
and such as yet once more i trust to have
full sight of her in heaven without restraint,
came vested all in white, pure as her mind;
her face was veil'd, yet to my fancied sight
love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shin'd
so clear as in no face with more delight.
but oh! as to embrace me she inclin'd,
i wak'd, she fled, and day brought back my night.

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
