EPANAPHORA ("referring" or "repetition") – The repetition of the same word or group of words at the beginning of successive lines. This, originally a rhetorical figure, becomes, especially with some of the Elizabethans and with Tennyson, a not unimportant prosodic device; and, in the hands of the latter, assists powerfully in the construction of the verse-paragraph.
EPANORTHOSIS ("setting up again," with a sense also of "correction") – Also a rhetorical figure and meaning the repetition of some word, not necessarily at the beginning of clause or line. This also can be made of considerable prosodic effect; for repetition, especially if including some slight change, is necessarily associated with emphasis, and this emphasis colours and weights the line variously.
– George Saintsbury, from Historical Manual of English Prosody (1910)
