Belloc’s poem contains two figures of speech.
Assonance is the repetition of sounds in multiple words. Assonance describes repeated vowel sounds in the middle of words with different consonant end sounds.
Consonance is the repetition of the same consonant sounds, i.e., what happens at the end of the word along with assonance. There is another figure of speech, onomatopoeia, a word formed to mimic the sound.
What is a tarantella? Rapid, whirling dance from southern Italy.
