What are some literary devices found in Patrick Henry's Virginia Convention speech?

There are, of course, many literary devices used in this
famous speech.  Here are a few of these
devices:

• Allusions.  This is when a writer or
  speaker refers to some character or passage from a source that all listeners would
  know.  Henry, for example, alludes to an incident in the Odyssey
  when he says

We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful
truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into
beasts.

Henry also alludes to
the Bible in lines such as

Are we disposed to be of the number of those
who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly
concern their temporal
salvation?

• Henry
  uses rhetorical questions.  These are devices where a speaker asks a question that is
  not meant to be answered -- the speaker is just trying to use the "question" to make the
  listeners think.  An example of this is

 Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of
love and
reconciliation?

• Perhaps
  the most famous line in the speech may be an example of hyperbole -- where a speaker
  exaggerates in order to make a point.

 Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course
others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

(This is also an example of
apostrophe since Henry is addressing someone not physically present at the
time.)
