Princes do but play us]; compared to this, (John Donne, "The Sun Rising") [One short sleep past, we wake eternally And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.] (John Donne, Sonnet 10) [Thus, though we cannot make our sun Stand still, yet we will make him run.] (Andrew Marvell, "To His Coy Mistress") Had we but world enough, and time, [This coyness, lady, were no crime. We would sit down, and think which way] To walk, and pass our long love's day. (Andrew Marvell, "To His Coy Mistress")

The correct answer is B.

In the excerpt of John Donne's Sonnet 10, the phrase "we wake eternally" is an example of hyperbole because it exaggerates the idea for the sake of emphasis.

The author wants to express the idea that the characters have had little sleep and now have to be awake for a very long time.
