    This excerpt comes from Sonnet 64, written by William Shakespeare.

    The correct answer is

    personification of Time in the opening lines

    When I have seen by Time's fell hand defaced

    The rich proud cost of outworn buried age;

    This also tells us the theme of the sonnet, how fleeting life is and how powerless we are against Time, that is, death.

    Personification is a figure of speech used in literature and especially in poetry, in which human emotions, qualities, and even the ability of speech, are given to non-human/inanimate things or abstract notions.
