Answer 1

Answer:

My conscience hath a thousand several tongues,

And every tongue brings in a several tale,

And every tale condemns me for a villain."

--Shakespeare, Richard III

We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have

prostrated ourselves before the tyrannical hands of the ministry and

parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have

produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been

disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne.

--Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention

Repetition is used to emphasize a feeling or idea, create rhythm, and/or develop a sense of urgency.
