    Allusion

    Explanation:

    Allusion is a figure of speech that provides a brief and indirect reference to something (like a phrase, a place, idea, a literary work) or someone that is commonly known and has a significance in our society.

    In the lines, the speaker us using allusion because he or she gives an indirect and brief reference to three great characters that are well-known and have certain significance in our society: Bacchus (the Greek god of wine), Satan (the lord of evil and the rebellious angel who is the adversary of God) and the Hangman (the name of a famous game).
