IV. RHYME

N.B. For purposes of Rhyme, words may be divided into two classes:

_First_, words ending in a vowel.

Second, words ending in a consonant.

Rhymes are called feminine, if the rhyme words end in a vowel.

Rhymes are called masculine, if the rhyme words end in a consonant.

NOTE: Final s and final n, especially in the plural of nouns and in

verbs, do not count. Therefore, _penas_ and _arenas_ would form a

feminine rhyme.

There are two kinds of rhyme: Consonance and Assonance.
