Answers
Answer:
The figure of speech is Metaphor.
Explanation:
In a Metaphor, there is a comparison between two things with different things without using as, or like.
In the lines of the poem 'Lord of himself, though not of lands', we can see that a comparison is made to that of Lord , when one compares oneself, to the Lord. It means ownership, but immediately the narrator states that he is the lord of himself meaning Lord himself and not of any lands.
The next line is 'having nothing yet has all'. This line is also a comparison to having everything but still does not possess anything, meaning he is satisfied with what he has.
We can even say it has a touch of Oxymoron where contradictory qualities are compared.
