Hyperbole.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is a figure of speech used to make exaggerated statements about an idea or opinion or anything for that matter. It uses the use of "over-the-top" words to express one's opinions and feelings.

In the given lines from Anne Bradstreet's poem "To My Dear Loving Husband", the speaker uses hyperbole to express how much she loves her husband. She admits her love for him is more than "the whole mines of gold, or all the riches that the East doth hold". The love that she has for her husband far exceeds any 'material wealth', meaning she exaggerates the amount of love she has. This use of exaggeration in her expression of love for her husband is an example of a hyperbole.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
