Explanation:

First off, let us start off with what hyperbole means.

Hyperbole means "exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally:"

If we look at the given excerpt, we can see that many sentences are indeed exaggerated. For example, "how brilliant are your eyes!" Obviously, that cannot be taken literally since no one's eyes are "brilliant".

Another example is, "How handsome are your gauzy wings". This sentence is another "exaggerated" statement that cannot be taken literally.

The hyperbole affects the mood of the poem by making the excerpt very happy and it seems like whoever is talking is complimenting the other very well. It sets the "happy" mood to the story and brings out the best of each character through exaggerated compliments.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest if it's correct?
