How does the repetition in each stanza shape the meaning of Part I of "The Highwayman"? The repetition of the words riding, twin
kle, daughter, or moonlight reinforces the highwayman's priorities. The repetition of the words galleon, breeches, cobbles, and cascade emphasizes the dreary setting. The repetition of the words inn-door, cocked-hat, to-night, and love-knot shows what is important to the landlord. The repetition of the words trees, wrinkle, window, and perfume shows what is important to Bess.
