Read the following excerpt from alfred noyes’s narrative poem "the highwayman." which three literary elements do these stanzas contain?

the wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.
the moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.
the road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
and the highwayman came riding—
riding—riding—
the highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

he’d a french cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,
a coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin.
they fitted with never a wrinkle. his boots were up to the thigh.
and he rode with a jewelled twinkle,
his pistol butts a-twinkle,
his rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.

over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard.
he tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred.
he whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
but the landlord’s black-eyed daughter,
bess, the landlord’s daughter,
plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.
