"And the Sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea," How does the meter in this line emphasize this use of alliteration?

The meter of this line is anapestic tetrameter. Basically
the line can be broken down into to four feet and each foot then consists of two
unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable (in our minds, this foot might
sound as such: da, da, DUM). This foot is called an
anapest.

The alliteration of the 's' sound at the beginning
of sheen, spears, stars, and sea is emphasized because those sounds all happen in the
line at the end of each foot, in other words they fall on the stressed syllable of the
line.
