Epizeuxis, Polyptoton, and Hypophora - Oh My!

Ward Farnsworth's beautiful book, Classical English Rhetoric, provides copious examples of eighteen rhetorical figures in the English language.  The examples start around the year 1600 and end around 1950; the height of English rhetoric.  It includes Chesterton, Churchill, and Burke; Dickens and Melville; Emerson and Thoreau; Samuel Johnson and many many more.

The examples by themselves are simply fun to read, but could be aptly used for imitation in a writing or rhetoric study.
