Not really. I can’t think of the technological term but there is a stylistic device that mirrors them. I can only think of a German example:

Und die einen stehn im Dunkeln und die andern stehn im Licht.
Und man sieht nur die im Lichte, die im dunkeln sieht man nicht.
And some stand in the dark and others in the light. And you only see the ones in the light, the ones in the dark aren’t seen.

When you go literal, the pinky and braim song says “one” and “the other”, not the former and the latter. It doesn’t specify which one it is.
