Words that rhyme with Argyll
The phonetic facts first: argyll is two-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the high /ɪ/, and the line ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Type rhymes for argyll into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: the perfect pool is workable but compact, no family-rhyme matches turn up, while the assonance options multiply into the thousands. Its lyric role is a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why argyll rhymes the way it does
Argyll is built around the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/); it's two-syllable and trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 32 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 127, assonance 2,980, and consonance 906. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Argyll rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
