more words immediately succeeding each other"," or at short
intervals; as in the following lines:
Behemoth, biggest born of earth, upheaved His vastness.
--Milton
Fly o'er waste fens and windy fields.
-- Tennyson

poets also employed it.

I shope me in shroudes as I a shepe were.
-- P. Plowman
Please excuse me. There are some things in here that are not alliteration.
