Why magi rhymes the way it does
To understand why magi rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the tight /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 144, assonance 4,691, and consonance 134. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for magi tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
