It's not a poem, it's a speech from Shakespeare's play As You Like it. The whole speech is an extended metaphor
"Sighing like a furnace, with a woeful Ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrows." simile - 'sighing like a furnace'
"Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth." metaphor - 'bubble reputation'
"For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice Turning again toward childish treble." alliteration - 'shrunk shank'

Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like a snail Unwillingly to school. simile - 'like a snail'

Some poetic devices used in "All the world's a stage" by William Shakespeare include metaphor ("stage" represents life), imagery (describing the stages of life as acts in a play), and personification (attributing human qualities to the world).
