Not for that neither.Anapodoton Here’s the pang that pinches:
His Highness having lived so long with herAlliteration, and she
So good a lady that no tongue could ever
Pronounce dishonor of her—Parenthesesby my life,
She never knew harm-doing!—O, now, after
So many courses of the Anastrophesun enthroned,
Still growing in a majesty and pomp, Parentheses & Alliosisthe which
To leave a thousandfold more bitter than
’Tis sweet at first t’ acquire—after this process,
To give her the avaunt!Synecdoche It is a pity
Would move a monster.Adynaton
Old Lady
Hearts of most hard temper
Melt and lament for her.Metonymy & Metaphor
I swear, ’tis better to be lowly born
And range with humble livers in content
Than to be perked up in a glist’ring grief
And wear a golden sorrow.
Anne
O, God’s will! EllipsisMuch better
She ne’er had known pompAnapodoton; though ’t be temporal,
PersonificationYet if that quarrel, Fortune, do divorce
It from the bearer, ’tis a sufferance panging
SimileAs soul and body’s severing.Apposition
Old Lady
Alas, poor lady,
She’s a stranger now again!
Anne
So much the more
Must pity drop upon her. Verily,
I swear, ’tis better to be lowly born
And range with humble livers in content
Alliteration, Meetaphor & OxymoronsThan to be perked up in a glist’ring grief
And wear a golden sorrow.Alliosis
Old Lady
Our content
Is our best having.Hyperbaton
Anne
By my troth and maidenhead,
I would not be a queen.
Old Lady
Beshrew me, I would,
And venture maidenhead for ’t; and so would you,
For all this spice of your hypocrisy.Metaphor
You, that have so fair parts of woman on you,
Have too a woman’s heart,Metonymy which ever yet
Affected eminence, wealth, sovereignty;
Which, to say sooth, are blessings; and which gifts,
Saving your mincing, the capacity

If you might please to stretch it.Apposition
Anne
Nay, good troth.
Old Lady
AnapodotonYes, troth, and troth. AporiaYou would not be a queen?Anapodoton and Antanaclasis
Anne
No, not for all the riches under heaven.Anapodoton, Adynaton & Ellipsis
Old Lady
’Tis strange. A threepence bowed would hire me,
Old as I am,Anthimeria to queen it.Apposition But I pray you,
What think you of a duchess? SynecdocheHave you limbs
To bear that load of title?Pysma
Anne
No, in truth.Anapodoton
Old Lady
Then you are weakly made.Anastrophe Pluck off a little.
I would not be a young count in your way
For more than blushing comes to.Hyperbaton If your back
Cannot vouchsafe this burden,Synecdoche ’tis too weak
Ever to get a boy.
Anne
How you do talk!
I swear again, I would not be a queen
For all the world.
Old Lady
In faith, for little England
You’d venture an emballing.Metonymy I myself
Would for Carnarvanshire, although there longed
No more to th’ crown but that.
