Alliteration and Assonance

are close together
Examples:
Blind as a bat
As good as gold
Tit for tat

Waste not, want not

But a better butter makes a batter better

with all his beams full-dazzling! 
(Walt Whitman)
And churlish chiding

of the winter’s wind
Which, when it bites and blows upon my body.
(William Shakespeare)
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
(Edgar Allan Poe)

Swaying daisies sing a lazy song beneath the sun.
(The Beatles)

Lemon
Dunkin' Donuts

close together
Examples:
The cat is out of the bag
Dumb luck

Wild child
Son of a gun
Cock of the walk
Surf and turf
A stitch in time saves nine

bird was heard to cry Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring

sounds Belie the deathly silence that lay all around
(Pink Floyd’s “Granchester Meadows”)
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain (musical “My Fair Lady”)
Back in Black (AC/DC)
Light My Fire (The Doors)
Rock Around the Clock (Bill Haley and his Comets)
