Why royalty rhymes the way it does
The phonology of royalty is a two-syllable core: the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/), then it doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 2,069, and consonance 346. 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. 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 royalty, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
