Earth has not anything to show more fair. This line is from the poem "Upon the Westminster bridge". Please specify the figure of speech in this line.
There are two figures of speech in this line. The first one is personification and the second one is hyperbole.
The way the poet refers to 'Earth' as a person indicates that the planet has been personified. Earth has the power of behaving like a human being. So just like a human shows or shows off belongings, Earth is also capable of doing the same.
The second figure of speech is hyperbole. Hyperboles are used to exaggerate something. Here, the poet says that the earth does not have any other place or marvel to show, that can match or surpass the beauty of the city. This is obviously an exaggerated way of saying that it is a splendid sight.
