What are the alliteration in seven ages of man?

Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. In the poem "The Seven Ages of Man," Shakespeare uses several examples of alliteration:

- "Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything" (alliteration with the letter "s")

- "Infants in the arms" (alliteration with the letter "i")

- "Creeping like snail" (alliteration with the letter "c")

- "Full of strange oaths" (alliteration with the letter "f")

- "His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide" (alliteration with the letter "w")

- "And his big manly voice, turning again toward childish treble" (alliteration with the letter "t")
