I can't figure this question out.

Is "And may the muse inspire each future song"

a metaphor
a heroic couplet
a parallelism
an allusion

That is an allusion. What is a "muse"? What would this person be wishing for?

Thanks :) never been great at those types of ?s

Metaphor is a comparison....
couplet is two rhyming lines
Parallism is two sentences or phrases with the same structure....
LOL...By the way what MUSE would that poet be seeking the help of????

No problem! I'm here to help. In the given sentence, "And may the muse inspire each future song," the word "muse" is indeed an allusion. Now, let's talk about what a "muse" is and what the person in the sentence would be wishing for.

In Greek mythology, a muse is one of the nine goddesses who were believed to inspire artists, poets, and musicians. They were seen as a source of creative inspiration. In this context, the person is wishing for the muse to inspire each future song. Essentially, they are hoping for divine inspiration or guidance in their creative endeavors.

To answer your side question, the specific muse being referred to depends on the context of the poem or the author's intent. The nine muses each had their own area of expertise. For example, Calliope was the muse of epic poetry, while Terpsichore was the muse of dance and choral song. It would require further information to determine which muse is being sought after in this particular instance.

I hope that clarifies things for you! Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
