What are some examples of figurative language in the poem "Casey at the Bat"?

In "Casey at the Bat," the poet Ernest Lawrence Thayer
uses a number of different types of figurative language and poetic devices.  Here are
some examples.

1) Alliteration: the
repetition of initial consonant sounds

a) "A
sickly silence"

b) "deep
despair"

c) "the former was a lulu
and the latter a
cake"

2) Assonance: the repetition of initial
vowel sounds

a) "if only Casey could but get
a whack at that"

b) "Flynn preceded
Casey, as did also Jimmy
Blake"

3) Metaphor: a comparison
that does not use the word "like"

or
"as"

a) "Cooney died at first" (Cooney did
not actually die; his

being thrown out at first base
is compared to
dying.

4)
Hyperbole: exaggeration

a)
"Blake...tore the cover off the ball."  It is quite unlikely thatBlake literally "tore
the cover off the ball."  This is merely an exaggerated way of saying that he hit the
ball very hard.

5)
Simile: a comparison that uses the word "like" or
"as"

a) "From the benches...there went up a
muffled roar / Like the beating of the storm-waves on a
stern and distant
shore."

(This could also be
considered an example of hyperbole; see above.)
