The two poetic elements present in the stanza are:

  1. Alliteration - The repeated initial consonant sounds in words like "silly," "simpering," and "sideways" demonstrate alliteration.
  2. Assonance - The use of similar vowel sounds in words like "monstrously" and "more" suggests assonance.

So the correct answers are alliteration and assonance.
