2. The =identical rhyme=. This is, properly speaking, no rhyme at all, but only a repetition of the same word intended as a substitute for rhyme; and therefore was and is avoided by careful and skilful poets; _sette: sette_ K. Horn, 757-8; _other: other_ Wyatt, p. 45; _down: down_ ib. p. 194; _sight: sight_ Spenser, F. Q. I. i. 45, &c. 3. The =broken rhyme= has two sub-species: _a._ In the first of these one part of the rhyme is composed of two or three words (unlike the rhymes spoken of under A. 3, consisting of two words each), e.g. _time: bi me_ K. Horn, 533-4; _scolis: fole is_, Chaucer, Troil. i. 634-5; _tyrant: high rent_ Moore, Fudge Fam., Letter iv; _wide as: Midas_ ib.; _well a day: melody_ ib. x; _Verona: known a_ Byron, Beppo, 17; _sad knee: Ariadne_ ib. 28; _endure a: seccatura_ ib. 31; _estrangement: change meant_ ib. 53; _quote is: notice_ ib. 48; _exhibit 'em: libitum_ ib. 70; _Julia: truly a: newly a_ Byron, Don Juan, ii. 208. _b._ In the second sub-species the rhyme to a common word is formed by the first part only of a longer word, the remainder standing at the beginning of the following line. This sort of rhyme seems to be unknown in Middle English literature; modern poets, however, use it not unfrequently in burlesque, as well as the previously mentioned sub-species, e.g. _kind: blind-_(_ness_) Pope, Satire iii. 67; _forget-_(_ful_)_: debt_ ib. iv. 13; _beg: egge-_(_shells_) ib. iv. 104; _nice hence-_(_forward_)_: licence_ Byron, Don Juan, i. 120; Thackeray, Ballads, p. 133: _Winter and summer, night and morn, I languish at this table dark; My office window has a corn- er looks into St. James's Park._ 4. The =double rhyme=. This is always trisyllabic like that mentioned under A. 3; but there is a difference between them, in that the two closing syllables of the gliding rhyme stand outside the regular rhythm of the verse; while the first and the third syllable of the double rhyme bear the second last and last arsis of the verse. _For dóuteth nóthinge, mýn inténción Nis nót to yów of reprehénción._ Chaucer, Troil. i. 683-4. This sort of rhyme does on the whole not very often occur in Modern English poetry, and even in Middle English literature we ought to regard it as accidental. The same is the case with another (more frequent) species, namely, 5. The =extended rhyme=, in which an unaccented syllable preceding the rhyme proper, or an unaccented word in thesis, forms part of the rhyme, e.g. _biforne: iborne_ Chaucer, Troil. ii. 296-8; _in joye: in Troye_ ib. i. 118-19; _to quyken: to stiken_ ib. 295-7; _the Past: me last_ Byron, Ch. Harold, ii. 96; _the limb: the brim_ ib. iii. 8, &c.
