What is the figure of speech line -i had a dove and sweet died?

The line "I had a dove and sweet died" is an example of zeugma, a figure of speech where a single word, usually a verb, is used to modify two or more words in a sentence, but with different meanings.

In this case, the verb "died" applies to both "dove" (meaning the bird literally died) and "sweet" (meaning the sweetness of something else, like a feeling or memory, faded away).

Zeugma often creates a humorous or ironic effect by juxtaposing different meanings of the same word.
