Question

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee--and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings,
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

A.slant rhyme.
B.perfect rhyme.
C.They have no relation.
D.None of the above

Answer 2

A riming poem is neater, and has a more regular flow, than a non-rimed one. This means that riming is more suitable when the poet has a clear idea of what she needs to say, and wants to present a world which on the whole is ordered and tidy. Non-riming poems are better where the thought has breaks and eddies, or where the poet's world is muddled or complex in some way. I don't think you can choose between them. Riming poems are more like a lecture, or a lesson; an unrimed poem is more like someone having a conversation with you. Some people are more comfortable with rimed poems, because that is what they are used to. But if you turn to poetry for comfort, you are doing it wrong. ..... I am amazed that anyone can read Keats' Ode to a Nightingale and think it doesn't rime.

Answer 3

In Shakespeare's time they were perfect rhymes ("least" was pronounced to rhyme with "breast").

Nowadays they would be called a slant rhyme, but that's hardly relevant.

Answer 4

B perfect rhyme
