An alliteration always arrives after artfully arranging all alphabetical alterations allowed and aligned. Basically, building bidding bound by beta bits.
From the eNotes guide:
Alliteration (sometimes called initial rhyme) - common in poetry and occasionally in prose, this is the repetition of an initial sound in two or more words of a phrase, line, or sentence. It is usually a consonant and marks the stressed syllables in a line of poetry or prose. Alliteration may be considered ornamental or as a decoration which appeals to the sense of hearing.

Philosophy and fish alliterate even though they start with different letters. Alliteration is also similar to assonance and assonance. It can be easy to confuse them. Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within a word. Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds within a word.
