Old Polly loved her milk, and she loved her cream.
Purring when petted, she'd curl up to dream
By the warmth of the fire. Her quick eyes would glow
With firelight fancies.
What type of figurative language is her quick eyes would glow with firelight fancies?
Hyperbole
Metaphor

Simile
A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally. Saying "Her eyes would glow with firelight fancies" doesn't mean her eyes were on fire.
