Answer:

There are two figures of speech in this line of the poem The Windmill by H.W. Longfellow.

The first figure of speech is Simile; and the second figure of speech is Alliteration.

Simile because the windmill is comparing itself to a brave man.

Alliteration because the sound M is repeated in words, 'man' and 'meets'

Explanation:

Simile is a word or phrase that compares something to something else, using words ‘like’, or ‘as’, for example ‘Her gown was as white as snow.’

Alliteration is the use of the same letter or sound at the beginning of words that are close together, as ‘She sang a song of sixpence.’  (The figure of speech used in the expression 'colourless cracks' is ‘alliteration.
