Patrick Henry's notable 1775 speech, "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death!" is well known for his intentional use of this Literary device.

"They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. 

But when shall we be stronger? 

Will it be the next week, or the next year? 

Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? 

Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? 

Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? 

Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power."

This arm beneath your head;

It is some dream that on that deck,

You've fallen cold and dead.

my Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;

My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will; 

The ship is Anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done; 

From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;

Exult, o shores, and ring, O bells!

But I, with mournful tread,

Walk the deck my Captain Lies,

Fallen cold and dead."
