Answer:

Alliteration.

"Shriek" is an example of an onomatopoeia.

The rhyme scheme of the first five lines is AAABB.

Explanation:

The given lines of poetry given in the question are taken from the poem "The Bells" by Edgar Allen Poe. The lines are from the third part of the poem.

The sound device used in the line "What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells" is an alliteration. Alliteration is the repeated use of the same consonant sound/ letter in a line in close proximity. And the alliterative word/ letter is seen in the words "tale/ terror/ turbulency/ tells".

The word "shriek" is an example of onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is the creation of a word based on the sound it emits, like for example hiss, buzz, bam, roar, grrr... etc.

And the rhyme scheme of the first five lines is AAABB. This can be identified by taking into account the words that end every line of the poem.

The first and second line ends with the word "bells", third with "tells", the fourth line with "night" and the fifth line with "affright". "Bells" and, "tells" have the same rhyme so AAA, while "night" and "affright" end with the same sound so BB. Thus, the rhyming scheme is AAABB.
