The lovely Louise Lennox a pretty alliteration, is it not? remained meanwhile under the paternal roof, her husband's ship being absent most of the time, and the handsome Julius having unlimited privileges in the line condemned by "Black-eyed Susan" in her parting interview with her sailor lover finding a mistress in every port.
Yet there is a still more extraordinary play upon words in canto xxiii. st. 49, consisting of the description of a hermitage. It is the only one of the kind which I remember in the poem, and would have driven some of our old hunters after alliteration mad with envy:
As for the forms of association, the relations linking these images, they do not depend so much on the order and connections of things as on the changing dispositions of the mind. They have a very marked subjective character. Some depend on the intellectual factor; the most usual are based on chance, on distant and vacillating analogies further down, even on assonance and alliteration.
"Really, Grazia, you alarm me with your wisdom," replied Cleo, affixing a very foolish giggle to the alarm signal. "I just wonder what will happen if you go getting so mighty wise all of a sudden. But I do think you are right just the same. Many hands mean mighty mixups. That's alliteration. You see I'm sticking to lit." "I wish you would stick to common sense, Cleo.
A beaming face, spectacled and whiskered probably, an expansive waistcoat, and a tender heart, seemed to shine through the words which Messrs Beit had quoted; and the alliteration of the final sentence; that was good too; there was style for you if you wanted it.
To do him justice, he did not often do this sort of thing. "Keep the alliteration for the poems," retorted Winsome. "Truth will do for me." After a little while she said, without apparent connection: "It is very hot." "What are they doing in the hay-field?" asked Ralph.

Two slim blue figures dropped their pebbles, descended upon the protesting Emma, and dragged her across the sand toward the water. "Are we tiresome?" demanded Sara sternly, as she and Sue, still clutching Emma, paused for breath. "Are we troublesome?" from Julia. "Not a bit of it," Emma blandly assured them. "I said it only for the sake of alliteration.
In England this metrical system came in contact with the uneven lines, the strong accent and alliteration of the native songs; and it is due to the gradual union of the two systems, French and Saxon, that our English became capable of the melody and amazing variety of verse forms which first find expression in Chaucer's poetry.
Not that sound-echo, whether in the form of rhyme or of alliteration is necessary to concord, though in its most typical and original forms concord is nearly always accompanied by sound repetition. The application of the principle varies considerably according to the genius of the particular language.
It is written in an elaborate stanza combining meter and alliteration. At the end of each stanza is a rimed refrain, called by the French a "tail rime." We give here a brief outline of the story; but if the reader desires the poem itself, he is advised to begin with a modern version, as the original is in the West Midland dialect and is exceedingly difficult to follow.
