Explanation:

An oxymoron is a figure - of - speech that combines two contradictory terms. A paradox is a statement that appears self - contradictory but may contain a truth. "O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches" combines opposite ideas in close proximity, so it's an oxymoron. "What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young" and "How is it possible to have a civil war?" and "I can resist anything but temptation" seem self - contradictory statements, so they are paradoxes.
