Assonance is the repetition of similar vowel sounds followed by similar consonant sounds in words that are close together. One example of assonance is found in ll.521-522(repetition of "o"), which enhances the lyrical quality of the stanza.
The bride had entered, the minstrels were going on and the wedding ceremony was to begin in the hall. But the ancient mariner was holding the bride-groom in a magical spell of poetry, telling him the story of the sin in the ghost ship. So only it was normal that the wedding-guest beat his breast fearing that the ceremony would be over without him. The anxiety and suspense Coleridge created in this part of the poem was only a prelude to the unbelievable things he was going to tell in the poem.

On an icebound ship near the South Pole, the mariner and his crew are visited by an albatross, considered a favourable omen. The ship breaks free of the ice and sails north, followed by the giant bird. Then, inexplicably, the mariner shoots and kills it, bringing a curse upon the vessel. After some confusion, his shipmates vilify him and hang the bird carcass around his neck. The passing of a ghost ship (a bad omen) presages the deaths of all aboard ship except the narrator. Lost and alone, he marvels at a life-affirming vision in the moonlight, and his prayer of reverence causes the albatross to fall into the sea. Following his rescue, the mariner understands that his penance for his destructive act will be to wander the world recounting his awful story.
The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, a horror poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is half unearthly and half morbid. A neighbour of Coleridge, Mr. Cruikshank told him about his dreaming of a skeleton ship with human figures in it. He in his turn related this dream to Wordsworth who actually had by then read a book titled Voyages written by Shelvocke in which large albatrosses following ships in the South Seas were described. He pointed out that killing some albatross might have been the cause of disaster to the skeleton ship in the dream and further commented that the ghost ship perhaps was being navigated by the dead men. This was enough for Coleridge and the plotting of The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner began.

The famous line 'Water Water Everywhere' is a line from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous long poem 'The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner'. When a wicked mariner killed an Albatross that followed the ship with good luck, a curse fell on the ship and their luck reversed. The sailors began to drop down dead one by one and the good ship became a ghost ship. It reached unknown waters and strange things began to happen. The following stanza is included in this part: Water water everywhere And all the boards did shrink, Water water everywhere Nor any drop to drink.
The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner is about a ship sailing the high seas which became a ghost ship after the sin of killing an albatross which followed the ship with good luck and good weather was committed. The sailors began to drop down dead one by one and thus the ship became a ghost ship. The ghosts of the sailors rose from their bodies and pulled the ropes, set the sails and worked the ship. Only the narrator of the poem remained alive to tell this tale. At last when he was able to make a prayer without suffocating himself, there was redemption and the sinned ship allowed reaching a port. This poem was Samuel Taylor Coleridge's masterpiece creation. This poem conveys and teaches a strong moral. Do not meddle with the divine intentions of nature's creations and manifestations, for they represent a higher intelligence. In this poem The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, we see a harbinger of good fortune being killed through the thoughtlessness and recklessness of a single sailor and all the sailors in the ship except one dropping dead one by one as a consequence of this sin. Man whose actions are governed mostly by emotions has no right to judge divinity.
