It may be Alliteration, the letter-rhyme or "beginning-rhyme" of Old English poetry: "Him be healfe stod hyse unweaxen, Cniht on gecampe, se full caflice." Tennyson imitates it in his "Battle of Brunanburh": "Mighty the Mercian, Hard was his hand-play, Sparing not any of Those that with Anlaf, Warriors over the Weltering waters Borne in the bark's-bosom, Drew to this island Doomed to the death."
In all these cases, as in that of Shelley's Adonais, I have taken no count of those instances of lax sound-rhyme which are correct letter-rhyme such as the coupling of move with love, or of star with war; for these, however much some more than commonly purist ears may demur to them, appear to be part and parcel of the rhyming system of the English language.
