Answer:

Explanation:

In the entire sequence,

Pride goeth forth on horseback, grand and gay’

But cometh back on foot, and begs its way.

The figure of speech used was personification.

According to this figure of speech, inanimate objects are given life. For instance, adjectives are used to describe the feelings of inanimate objects. In the above sentence personification is used because the feeling of "pride" is given life. Its being treated as if its a real. The suggesting words here are" cometh back on foot". And only real people, animals, creatures, like humans have feet. No object or feeling or idea has feet. But here since its given a living matter feeling, that makes it a part of personification.
