The Pleasures of Rimbaud

...two words are not considered a proper rhyme in English unless there is a different first consonant on the last accented syllable of both words - which makes possible the famous extravagant rhymes of Byron ("ladies intellectual/henpecked you all") and Ogden Nash ("the pelican/Whose beak holds more than his belly can"). - The Pleasures of Rimbaud by Charles Rosen in nyrb, August 18, 2011 / Volume LVIII, Number 13
