Why romans rhymes the way it does
In our engine, romans registers as a two-syllable word on the short /æ/ (/æ/) that softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 212, assonance 7,296, and consonance 31. 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. Romans rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
