Anaphora deliberately repeats a word or words at the beginning of a sentence, e.g. "But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land" – Martin Luther King
Epistrophe (also called antistrophe) repeats the words at the end, e.g. "Government of the people, by the people, for the people"- President Abraham Lincoln

"Make me, O Lord, thy spinning wheel complete; Thy holy Word my distaff make for me." - This repetition of "Make me" at the beginning of each line of the stanza is an example of anaphora in "Huswifery." "Make my affections run" and "Make my will and effort" - These phrases both begin with "Make my," showcasing anaphora in the poem.
epistrophe - repetition of the ends of two or more successive sentences, verses, etc.eg Are we downhearted? - No we are not! Are we defeated? - No we are not! Are we depressed? - No we are not! eg from Shakespeare: She is a woman, therefore may be woo'd; She is a woman, therefore may be won; She is Lavinia, therefore must be lov'd.
I just got anaphora by her last night!
Nihil agis, nihil moliris, nihil cogitas. The anaphora is in the successive repetition of 'nihil.'
