Question

Which pair of lines from “Lines Written in Early Spring” by William Wordsworth represents the strongest example of alliteration?

The answer is the first two lines btw

I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined,




In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
To her fair works did nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it griev’d my heart to think
What man has made of man.
Through primrose-tufts, in that sweet bower,
The periwinkle trail’d its wreathes;
And ‘tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.

Alliteration consists on the repetition of identical initial consonant sounds in syllables which are associated, closely or successive within a group of words.

Answer 2

And much it griev’d my heart to think

What man has made of man.

Alliteration refers to the repetition of identical initial consonant sounds in closely associated syllables within a particular group of words. Alliteration is also known as head rhyme, or initial rhyme, and it is one of the most commonly used devices in poetry. In this case, these lines use alliteration in the words "man," "made" and "man."
