a) apostrophe and b) personification

Explanation:

The two figures of speech that are used in this excerpt from Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Macbeth" are apostrophe and personification. An apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the writer addresses someone who is not present or an inanimate object. Here, the poet is addressing the night and asking it to "cover the tender eyes of day." He is using personification to refer to the eyes of the day and calling them tender. Personification is when a thing is given human attributes.
