Words that rhyme with Untrue
The shape of untrue: two-syllable, vowel coloured by the mid /ษ/, ending that doesn't close on a consonant at all. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. The assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use, the family column is blank, and you won't run short of perfect rhymes.

Why untrue rhymes the way it does
In our engine, untrue registers as a two-syllable word on the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) that opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 136 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 708, assonance 1,925, and consonance 0. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Untrue reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
