Assonance

Definition: The repetition of vowel sounds at the beginning of every word or stressed syllable in a line of verse. Similar to rhyme, but the consonants don't have to match.

Example from The Pearl: "We do know... from birth to the..." (p.54).
-
Example by me: To some people, Game of Thrones is as addicting as bones to a dog.
