Note: one of the devices used by poets is alliteration − the repetition of speech sounds in a sequence of nearby words e.g. in W.H.Auden’s poem “O’ Where Are You Going?” the last stanza makes prominent use of this device:

“Out of this house” − said rider to reader,

“Yours never will” − said farer to fearer,

“They’re looking for you” − said hearer to horror,

As he left them there, as he left them there.

(e.g − rider − reader, farer − fearer, hearer − horror)
