Which line in this excerpt from Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty" contains examples of alliteration? She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

Answer:

The line in this excerpt from Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty" that contains examples of alliteration is Of cloudless climes and starry skies

Explanation:

The literary device of alliteration is the repetition of identical consonant sounds in consecutive or closed connected syllables, even if they have different spelling. This line repeats the sound of c with cloudless and climes, as well as the repetition of the letter s with starry and skies.
