Assonance and alliteration appear in this selection; however, assonance is the main sound technique.

Alliteration is used in "trembling Tyrant."

Assonance is the repetition of the same vowel sound in words that are near one another. Assonance is used in the repetition of the same /e/ sound in the words: "next," "bent," "incensed," "sent," "fell," "destroyer." The same /i/ sound is repeated in the words "quickly," "brings," "shrinks."
