The lenguage divice used in this shakespear passage written to Julius Caesar is: parallelism.

Explanation:

Parallelism is a literature device that is used in many speeches, or poems it generates a rithm by the repetition of a pattern. Repetition creates a sense for rithm to the reader and also makes a remark.
