Alliteration I threw a wish in the well, Don't ask me, I'll never tell I looked to you as it fell,And now you're in my wayI'd trade my soul for a wish,Pennies and dimes for a kissI wasn't looking for this,But now you're in my wayYour stare was holdin',Ripped jeans, skin was showin'Hot night, wind was blowin'Where you think you're going, baby? Hey, I just met you,And this is crazy,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?It's hard to look right,At you baby,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?Hey, I just met you,And this is crazy,But here's my number,So call me, maybe? Where are the examples of alliteration in these lyrics?

Oxymoron O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face! Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant! fiend angelical!Dove-feather'd raven! wolvish-ravening lamb!Despised substance of divinest show!Just opposite to what thou justly seem'st,A damned saint, an honourable villain!O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell,When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiendIn moral paradise of such sweet flesh?Was ever book containing such vile matterSo fairly bound? O that deceit should dwellIn such a gorgeous palace!
