"Through me pass into the painful city,

Through me pass into eternal grief,

Through me pass among the lost people ...

Before me nothing was created that

Was not eternal, and I last eternally.

All hope abandon, you who enter here.

Anaphora is the deliberate repitition of the first part of the sentence, in this case, the phrase "Through me pass" is use of the anaphora.

The use of the anaphora effect emphasized that only one reigns supreme over hell and everybody should pass through him before they can proceed.
