Rhyme

According to Abrams & Harpham (201210: 348-349, s.v. rhyme), “[i]n English versification, standard rhyme consists of the repetition, in the rhyming words, of the last stressed vowel and of all the speech sounds following that vowel”.

If “the rhyme consists of a single stressed syllable, [it is] called a masculine rhyme”.

If “the rhyme consists of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable, [it is] called a feminine rhyme”.
