Why resolute rhymes the way it does
Pull resolute apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with a back /uห/ (/u/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 162 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 239, assonance 3,051, and consonance 1834. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Resolute works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
