Why princely rhymes the way it does
In our engine, princely registers as a three-syllable word on the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) that 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 60, assonance 13,047, and consonance 26. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Princely pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
