Explanation:

   Here we can see an example of alliteration.

Alliteration is a rhetorical figure that consists of the repetition of sounds present in adjacent or nearby words.

It has the virtue of attracting attention and causing an effect of musicality and sound.

In simple terms, alliteration relates words that offer a partial identity of sounds to each other. If these are reproduced or are equivalent to other sounds or noise, an onomatopoeia occurs.

imparadis't in one anothers arms  

the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill  

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,  

where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,  

among our other torments not the least,  

still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;  

yet let me not forget what i have gain'd  

from their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems:  

one fatal tree there stands of knowledge call'd,  

forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidd'n?  

suspicious, reasonless. why should their lord  

envie them that? can it be sin to know,

the answer is industry
