Answer:
simile
Explanation:
in the poem, it is mentioned that
''lovely is youth, but quickly is it flown
as some sweet air that comes, but whence unknown''
we can infer from these lines that although youth is a blissful time in ones life, it is transcendental in nature. it is ephemeral and impermanent. it is short-lived.
in the second line, youth is compared to a soothing fragrant gentle breeze, through the words as some sweet air.
therefore, the figure of speech used is simile because a comparison is taking place using the word 'as'.
(simile also generally compares using the word 'like')
