The answer is:  " assonance " .
________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________
           The answer is "assonance"— since there are repeated, nearby words with the same vowels that are internal (i.e. not at the beginning of the word, as in "alliteration") within words that are repeated and/or nearby.
        {This is the definition or description of "assonance".}. <span>
_______________________________________________________
        {Note that "alliteration" is not limited to nearby words with initial consonant sounds —but also refers to nearby words with repeated initial vowel sounds; such as:
   
   "Always avoid annoying alliteration."  }.
____________________________________________________
    Furthermore, in "assonance", the vowel sounds do NOT have to be in within the FIRST syllable of each of the words—nor do the vowel sounds in repeated, nearby words HAVE to be within the SAME SYLLABLES;  rather, this just happens to be the case in the actual question being asked.
________________________________________________________ 
     Specifically, in the example provided:
________________________________________________________
        "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain."    ;
______________________________________________
          the words:  "rain", "Spain", "mainly", "stays", "mainly", "plain" ;  are words that are very close together with the same vowel sound of the "long 'a' "  ;   providing examples of "assonance".
____________________________________________________
 Hope this explanation—though lengthy—is of some help!
