If you came here looking for what rhymes with wallace, here's the shape of it: only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five.

Why wallace rhymes the way it does
Wallace is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on a front-of-the-mouth /eษช/, then it lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 38 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 174, assonance 5,002, and consonance 578. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Wallace pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
