Why mariano rhymes the way it does
Mariano sits on the round /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 51 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1464, assonance 3,525, 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With mariano, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
