Why devout rhymes the way it does
Devout is built around a falling /aส/ (/aส/); it's two-syllable and ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 98 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 98, assonance 3,004, and consonance 1780. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Devout reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
