Why antiquity rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for antiquity starts at the vowel โ the high /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 68, assonance 11,711, and consonance 6. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Antiquity rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
