Why revenge rhymes the way it does
To understand why revenge rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the centred /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 53, assonance 10,972, and consonance 62. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Revenge rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
