Which lines in these excerpts contain an example of a hyperbole?

She is all states, and all princes I,

Nothing else is.

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")
