-===Alliterative poetry===
-Tizian poems traditionally use rhythmic alliteration:
-# the beginning syllables of sub-lines, e.g. in the pattern a ... | a ...
-# syllables within lines or sub-lines, e.g. a _ a _ ‖ b _ b _ ‖ c _ c _ ‖ d _ d _
-# the above two may be combined, e.g. a _ a ... | b _ b ... ‖ b _ b ... | c _ c ... ‖ c _ c ... | d _ d ...
