Epanalepsis
epanalepsis \ˌe-pə-nə-ˈlep-sis\ noun: repetition of the initial word or phrase of a clause or sentence at the end (“the king is dead, long live the king”)
Etymology: Greek epanálēpsis repetition, resumption, taking up again
Epanalepsis sounds less like a figure of speech and more like a type of seizure.
