The type of figurative language used in the second line ("Till I scarcely more than muttered 'Other friends have flown before--") is personification. In this line, the speaker suggests that "friends" can "fly away," which attributes human qualities to a non-human action or concept.
Use these lines from the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe to answer the question.
(1) Nothing farther then he uttered--not a feather then he fluttered--
(2) Till I scarcely more than muttered "Other friends have flown before--
(3) On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before."
(4) Then the bird said "Nevermore."
