And drives inland
Till all her strands are breathless.

Answer :

I'm sorry, but the excerpts provided do not contain clear indications of the poetic techniques listed. Let's try to match the elements of poetry with the correct excerpt based on the information provided.

1. Slant rhyme - Ralegh has backed the maid to a tree
2. Alliteration - drives inland
3. End rhyme - True, a new mistress now I chase
4. Internal rhyme - Till all her strands are breathless
5. Assonance - As Ireland is backed to England

In poetry, slant rhyme occurs when two words have similar, but not identical, sounds. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighboring words. End rhyme happens when words at the end of lines rhyme. Internal rhyme is when rhyming words appear within the same line. Assonance involves the repetition of vowel sounds within nearby words.

By matching these elements with the provided excerpts, you can better understand how these poetic techniques are used in the context of the poem.
