does this four lines contain a simile or a metaphor?
“I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy,”
These words he did say as I boldly stepped by.
“Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story,
For I’m shot in the breast and I know I must die.

haha I always read "simile" as "smile."
anyways, I am fairly sure that "you are a cowboy" would be a metaphor because if the person it is referring to isn't really a cowboy, and yet resembles one, it is a metaphor. There aren't any similes though because the "as" in line 2 isn't used for a comparison. It's used as, let's say, a state of time.
"you are a cowboy" at the end of the 1st line is a metaphor, no other metaphors or similes present.
i think simile because it has as and a simile has like or as
