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.

Parallelism in this passage is localized in the following sentences: tears for his love, joy for his fortune, honor for his value ... This device that includes a structure of repetition "for his", this way of expression generates an accent on the character it is refering to, in this case the peroson is refering to Julious Caesar (a roman emperor).
