The sound device Shakespeare uses in the given passage is alliteration.
To identify the sound device used in a passage, you can follow these steps:
1. Read the passage and pay attention to the musical quality of the words and phrases.
2. Look for repetition of similar sounds or letters at the beginning of words.
3. Determine if this repetition is intentional and adds rhythm or emphasis to the passage.
