Why marius rhymes the way it does
Pull marius apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 26 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 61, assonance 4,251, and consonance 469. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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 marius, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
