Shakespeare's Sonnet 42 (That thou hast her) has some weak alliterations, particularly on 'l', scattered through the poem:

A loss in love that touches me more nearly.

If I lose thee, my loss is my love's gain,

but alliteration is not an important technique in this poem (it is neither structural nor semantically significant).

The important techniques to look at in this sonnet are parallel construction (in the second line above, 'lose' is echoed by 'loss' and antithesised by 'gain'), and especially word repetition.
