"Daily Nightly"

This morning, I was thinking about "Daily Nightly," and I realized that the words "glitters glibly" exhibit both alliteration and assonance and that there's a balance between them because they have the same number of syllables.  (I can't decipher the first few words of the line, but the rest of it is "look down upon a world that glitters glibly.")  These features attract attention to themselves, so in a way, they act as the verbal equivalent of that "glitter[ing]."
