Why davies rhymes the way it does
Davies is built around a high-front /iห/ (/iห/); it's two-syllable and softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 272, assonance 6,037, and consonance 129. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Davies works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
