Why hidalgo rhymes the way it does
To understand why hidalgo rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the open /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 265 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1225, assonance 1,936, and consonance 0. 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. 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. Hidalgo works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
