Examine examples of personification in the ballad of the owl and the cat. How is personification used in the ballad?

In the poem, the Owl and the cat are personified as a couple who are eloping with little means. They set sail in a pea green boat with 5 pounds to their name and used one shilling of that (basically the equivalent of a quarter) to purchase a ring to consummate their marriage, because they had tarried for too long.
