Why mace rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for mace starts at the vowel — a front-of-the-mouth /eɪ/, IPA /a/ — and ends where the line trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 129 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 182, assonance 5,763, and consonance 463. 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. Mace reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
