Answer:

Apostrophe

Step-by-step explanation:

Apostrophe is a common literary device in theatre, but it can be found throughout all kinds of prose and poetry. Apostrophe occurs when an author addresses a third party which is not present in the context of the text. This is usually an individual or an object. In this case, Wordsworth addresses Milton, and he uses apostrophe when doing so.
