Alliteration

Explanation:

Alliteration is a figure of language, more precisely a figure of sound (or harmony). It is defined by the repetition of consonant phonemes in a statement. This means that these sounds can be similar or equal and are usually located at the beginning or middle of the word.

Alliteration produces an interesting sound effect, marking the rhythm and suggesting some sounds similar to the words that make up the text. In the sentence shown above, these effects can be observed in the words "waning", "wealth" and "jilting", "jade".
