Keiva wonders:
what is the name for the rhetorical device used?
If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
epistrophe seems to differ from anaphora only in that the repeated word or phrase must come at the end of each clause or sentence... so your example would probably simply be anaphora.
(OTOH, i just looked it up to be certain, and atomica claims that the anaphoric repitition must come at the beginning of the clause, but i think maybe that's wrong, considering the more general linguistic usage (such as, as Atomica helpfully provides, using "her" to refer to a pronoun at the beginning of a sentence, eg Anne asked Edward to pass her the salt.)
