   I think that repeated interior vowel sounds is assonance. And I have a quote illustrating that as well, this time from The Once and Future King by T. H. White. Merlin is speaking to Wart:

   ‘For instance, ’the beer is never clear near here, Dear,’ is unfortunate, even as assonance.’

   I believe that it is alliteration only if the beginning sounds of words are alike. I still recall the lines from Tennyson that were used in one of my high school classes to illustrate alliteration:

   I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance,

   Among my skimming swallows

    Mud, mud, glorious mud,

    Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood.

    So follow me, follow, down to the hollow

    And there let us wallow in glorious mud.
