No bargainers’ bargains by day—no brokers or speculators—would they continue?

Alliteration
The audible repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words that are near each other but have different vowel sounds.
Because I was happy upon the heath,
And smil'd among the winter's snow,
They clothed me in the clothes of death,
And taught me to sing the notes of woe.

happy and heath = alliteration / repetition of sound
"Clothed me in the clothes" = repetition of term
"Happy" and "Smiled" = repetition of the theme
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
