Preface
Rhyme is "the correspondence, in two or more words or verses, of terminal sounds

beginning with an accented vowel, which, in modern English usage, must be preceded
by different consonant sounds, or by a consonant in one case and none in the other."
A rhyme is one of two or more words which correspond as described, and a list of
rhymes is a group of such words. A rhyming dictionary, therefore, is a compendium
of complete lists of rhymes, as exhaustive as it is possible to make it.
This rhyming dictionary is organized on the modern principle of giving the lists
of rhymes according to the key vowel sound, and progresses from A- (ay, bay, etc.)
through UZ'i-ness- (fuzziness, etc.).
The vowel sounds A, E, I, O, and U and their variations (see table of contents) are
taken up in turn. Under each, the lists of rhymes are given in three sections: single
or masculine rhymes, double or feminine rhymes, and triple rhymes. In each section,
one proceeds in an orderly, alphabetical fashion, as, for example, from AB- (Abe,
babe, etc.) through AZ- (daze, etc.), AB'i- (Abie, baby, etc.) through AZ'ing-
(hazing, etc.). Due to phonetic considerations, the letter c is always alphabetized
under \ or s, its two possible sounds. The ch sound still stands third in alphabetical
order.
In each entry, the list of rhymes is given according to number of syllables, for
easier reference. One-syllable words come first, of course, then two, and so on, with
each group being preceded by a figure showing the number of syllables. This will
facilitate finding the right rhyme when, for .example, the poet has only one ac-
cented syllable left to fill in to complete his line. Time will be saved and the
rhyme more quickly found.
When the rhyme sound is preceded by one or more syllables, in longer words, the
rhymes are arranged according to the consonant directly preceding the rhyme sound
— or, in other words, alphabetized backwards. This is useful because multiple rhymes
thus are listed together.
In modern poetry, very frequently a kind of offbeat rhyming is used to good
effect, and it is for that reason that we have included many so-called "imperfect"
rhymes. These are considered to be, for the purposes of this book, words which con-
tain the rhyme sound, but in which the sound is not accented. Such imperfect
rhymes are printed in italics. Another device of modern poetry is the use of con-
sonance, as, for example, Such examples of consonance may be
late, let, light, lot, lute.
easily found simply by looking up the corresponding section under each vowel sound.
For the sake of writers of humorous and light verse, very numerous slang and
colloquial expressions have been included for the first time in such a reference book.
The inclusions of foreign-language expressions commonly used in English are un-
usually rich, and it is hoped that they may prove useful alike to poet and verse-
writer.
Preface
The thesaurus-like arrangement of this dictionary makes it easier and quicker to

use than the more old-fashioned, vertical-list kind of arrangement. Another ad-
vantage of this arrangement is its compactness, which makes the book far more port-
able than rhyming dictionaries containing much less material. Indeed, this is the most
complete and inclusive, as well as the most usable, of modern rhyming dictionaries.

A Brief Guide to English Versification
It is easy to say what verse is: it is a written composition which uses a metrical pat*
tern and frequently also the device of rhyme to heighten its effectiveness.
It is hard to say what poetry is. Real poetry, like beauty itself, is somehow beyond
definition. Great poets have written it, but have not been able to define it.
This brief chapter on versification is about the tools of both poetry and verse
meter and rhyme.
Meter is the basic pattern of rhythm which is repeated throughout a verse. It is
like the time, or repeated beat, of music.

Rhyme is the chiming of identical terminal sounds of words. It may occur
regularly at the ends of lines, and within lines as well, as in many of the poems of
Edgar Allan Poe. In English, rhyme is based on an accented vowel sound. This
rhyme sound usually consists of accented vowel plus final consonant, and in that case
is called a masculine, or one-syllable, rhyme. It may be composed of accented vowel
(with or without consonant) followed by one or two unaccented syllables. A two-
syllable rhyme is called a feminine rhyme, while a three-syllable rhyme has no special
name.
In rhyming, there are only two rules. The rhyme sounds must be identical. And
each rhyme used must vary from all the others in the consonant-sound which pre-
cedes the rhyme. Thus, vacation and oblation are acceptable rhymes, while vacation
and extrication are not, being mere repetitions of -cation, instead of rhymes on -ation.
One out of every two or three syllables is ordinarily accented in English. In prose,
the accent is allowed to fall at random, but in verse the writer arranges his language
so that the accent comes at regular intervals, and the thought breaks naturally into
regular lines.
As far back as we know, rhythm has been employed to make things catchy and
easy to remember. Rhyme seems to have come into use a little later, but served the
same purpose. The early sagas and tales of the minstrels were carried by word of
mouth, and employed these devices. In the history of the world's literature, poetry
came long before prose.
There are four kinds of meter in English. These are used straight, or mixed, as the
occasion and the verse demands.
One unit of meter is called a foot, or a metric foot.
ENGLISH METERS
1. Iambic meter, composed of units of two syllables with the accent on the second.
One imabic foot is called an iamb. (Pronounced eye-am'-bik, eye'-amb)
Example: "The sea |
is calm |
tonight. |
The tide |
is full, |
the moon |
lies fair |
" —Matthew Arnold
2. Trochaic meter, composed of units of two syllables with the accent on the first
One trochaic foot is called a trochee. (Pronounced tro-kay'-ik, tro'-kee)

viii A Brief Guide to English Versification
Example: "On the j

shores of |
Gitche |
Gumee |
Of the |
shining j
Big Sea |
Water, |
"
—Longfellow
3. Anapestic meter, composed of units of three syllables with the accent on the third.
One anapestic foot is called an anapest. (Pronounced an-a-pest'-ik, an'-a-pest)
Example: "The Assyrian came down |
like the wolf |
on the fold |
"
—Byron
4. Dactyllic meter, composed of units of three syllables with the accent on the first.
One dactyllic foot is called a dactyl. (Pronounced dak-till'-ik, dak'-till)
Example: "This is the |

forest prim|eval. The |
murmuring |
pines and the |
hemlocks
Bearded with |
moss and in |
garments of green, |
indis|tinct in the |
t wiligh t " —Longfellow

A convenient way to remember the kinds of meter is to memorize a little rhyme,
such as:
The iamb saunters through my book,
Trochees rush and tumble;
While the anapest runs like a hurrying brook,
Dactyls are stately and classical.
In addition, one more kind of meter must be noted —Spondaic meter, composed
of units of two syllables, both being accented. One spondaic foot is called a spondee.
(Pronounced spon-day'-ik, spon'-dee)

"
Example: "Stop' thief |
Spondaic meter is not, properly speaking, an English meter at all, as it is im-

possible in English to sustain for long a meter in which every syllable is accented.
However, it may occasionally be substituted for a foot in some other meter, when
the effect would be heightened by it.
Scansion or scanning of verse is the analysis of its meter, and is accomplished by

marking each syllable according to whether it is accented or not. Then a mark is placed
between each metric foot, and it may be determined what meter predominates.
When a line is out of time with the rest, it is frequently said that "it does not scan."
In addition to the kind of meter of a poem, such as iambic, it is further described
according to the number of metric feet (or accents) in each line. For example, a
sonnet is written in iambic pentameter, which means in five-foot iambic lines. The
kinds of lines are as follows:
one-foot monometer (mo-nah'-meh-ter)

two-foot dimeter (di'-meh-ter)
three-foot trimeter (tri'-meh-ter)
four-foot tetrameter (teh-tra'-meh-ter)
five-foot pentameter (pen-ta'-meh-ter)
six-foot hexameter (hex-a'-meh-ter)
seven-foot heptameter (hep-ta'-meh-ter)
eight-foot octometer (oct-ah'-meh-ter)
A Brief Guide to English Versification is
Iambic pentameter is said to be the most natural English line, and it is used in most
long narrative, epic, or dramatic poems in English.
Hexameters are the lines of classical poetry in Greek and Latin, as well as French
and certain other modern languages. In English, the hexameter is often called an
Alexandrine, and is sometimes used to give greater weight to a poem which is mainly
in pentameters. Alexandrines occur regularly in certain stanza forms, such as the
Spenserian stanza.
The length of the line, in verse, generally follows a pattern. Either all are the same,
or else the varying lengths recur in a regular fashion. Beginning verse-writers would
do well to check their poems from this point of view. For example, if a poem is
written in four-line stanzas, with lines alternating between three and four feet, it is
not a good idea suddenly to insert a line of five feet somewhere, nor should one sub-
stitute a four-foot line for a three-foot line in the pattern.
THE STANZA
A stanza is a division within a poem, and is composed of a group of lines, sometimes
only one line; it is set off by space between it and the next stanza.
A poem may be written in set stanzas that follow a regular pattern, or the poet
may divide his stanzas according to the thought content, in which case the stanza
division is entirely analogous to pargaraphing in prose. These two different ways of
handling the stanza may be called formal stanzas and free stanzas.
Stanzas are named according to the number of lines they contain.
couplet two lines
triplet or tercet three lines

quatrain four lines
cinquain five lines
sestet six lines
septet seven lines

octave eight lines
Beyond these, one refers simply to a nine-line stanza, and so on. The length of the
lines in a stanza, and the ryhme scheme, if any, are a matter of choice for the poet.
Infinite variety is possible, but there are a number of fixed stanza forms which have
qualities of charm and malleability, which the beginning poet would do well to
practice.
The quatrain is probably the most widely used stanza form, and may be rhymed
in anumber of ways. The loose ballad quatrain, with the first and third lines, and
second and fourth lines rhyming, or with only the second and fourth lines rhymed, L*
a universal favorite. The lines may be of any length, but alternating four- and three
foot lines are perhaps the most used.
x A Brief Guide to English Versification
To indicate a rhyme scheme, one marks the first rhyme with the letter a, the
second b, and so on. For example:
I never saw a purple cow, (a)
I never hope to see one, (b)
But I can tell you, anyhow, (a)
I'd rather see than be one. (b)
—Gelett Burgess
Thus, the rhyme scheme of the above quatrain is a-b-a-b.
A combination of triplets which can be very effective is called terza rima; it was
originally an Italian form. This is composed of three-line stanzas with interlocking
rhyme, ending with a couplet. It goes a-b-a, b-c-b, c-d-c, d-d —or it may go on
much longer before the concluding couplet. Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind" is
written in this form.

Another famous Italian stanza is the ottava rima. It contains eight lines and three
rhymes, as, follows: a-b-a-b-a-b-c-c.
The Spenserian stanza contains nine lines, the first eight in iambic pentameter and
the last line an Alexandrine. The rhyme scheme is an interlocking one, and goes:
a-b-a-b-b-c-b-c-c.
POEMS IN FIXED FORMS

The Sonnet
The sonnet is the best-known and most widely practiced of all the fixed forms of
poetry. It consists of fourteen lines in iambic pentameter, and has one of several
rhyme schemes and thought divisions.
The Italian, or Petrarchan, sonnet, so called because it was first used by Petrarch,
is the oldest of the sonnet forms. It is composed of an octave and a sestet, and it may
be said in general that the octave states the case, while the sestet resolves it or in some
way presents the main point which the poet has in mind. The rhyme scheme of this
kind of sonnet is: a-b-b-a, a-b-b-a, c-d-e, c-d-e. Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote many
beautiful sonnets in this form. Throughout English and American literature one
finds it used, although the Shakespearean sonnet has been on the whole more popular.
Here is a .good example:
MILTON
I pace the sounding sea-beach and behold (a)
How the voluminous billows roll and run, (b)
Upheaving and subsiding, while the sun (b)
Shines through their sheeted emerald far unrolled (a)
And the ninth wave, slow gathering fold by fold (a)
All its loose-flowing garments into one, (b)
Plunges upon the shore, and floods the dun (b)
Pale reach of sands, and changes them to gold. (a)

A Brief Guide to English Versification xi
So in majestic cadence rise and fall (c)
The mighty undulations of thy song, (d)
O sightless bard, England's maeonidesl (e)
And ever and anon, high over all (c)
Uplifted, a ninth wave superb and strong, (d)
Floods all the soul with its melodious seas. (e)
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

There have been many variations on the Italian sonnet. Sometimes the break
between the octave and the sestet does not mark any break in the thought. The
break may come elsewhere, even in the middle of a line. The rhyme scheme may be
varied. One may have a-b-b-a, c-d-d-c; a-b-b-a, a-c-c-a\ or a-b-b-a, c-b-b-c, in the
octave. The sestet may also be varied in many ways. Here is an example.
EVENING ON THE BEACH
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free; (a)
The holy time is quiet as a nun (b)
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun (b)
Is sinking down in its tranquillity; (a)
The gentleness of heaven is on the sea: (a)
Listen! the mighty Being is awake, (c)
And doth with his eternal motion make (c)
A sound like thunder — everlastingly. (a)
Dear child ! dear girl ! that walkest with me here, (d)
If thou appear untouched by solemn thought (e)
Thy nature is not therefore less divine: (f)

Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year, (d)
And worship'st at the Temple's inner shrine, (/)

God being with thee when we know it not. (e)
—William Wordsworth
The Shakespearean sonnet has probably been the most popular of all the fixed
forms in English poetry. Like other sonnets, it has fourteen lines written in iambic
pentameter. The rhyme scheme and divisions of thought are different from those of
the Italian sonnet. It is composed of three quatrains and a final couplet, and the
rhyme scheme goes: a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g.
As is readily seen, the rhyme scheme is easier to use because there are only two
rhymes on each terminal sound throughout. The final couplet is usually the climax
of the poem, stating the point in a memorable fashion.
The matter of indenting the lines of a sonnet is one of personal preference. They
may be indented according to the rhyme scheme, or not indented at all.
Here is one of Shakespeare's sonnets:

xii A Brief Guide to English Versification
SONNET 29
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, (a)
I all alone beweep my outcast state, (b)
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, (a)
And look upon myself, and curse my fate, (b)
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, (c)
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed, (d)

Desiring this man's art and that man's scope, (c)
With what I most enjoy contented least; (d)

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, (e)
Haply I think one thee, and then my state, (J)

Like to the lark at break of day arising (e)
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; (/)

For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings (g)
That then I scorn to change my state with kings. (g)
—William Shakespeare
The Triolet
This is an eight-line poem, in which the first line is repeated as the fourth line, and
the first and second lines repeated as the seventh and eighth. These lines should be
identical in sound, if not in meaning —that is, they may contain puns and various
plays on words, if desired. However, a triolet in which the lines are repeated as a
simple refrain can be very charming. The rhyme scheme —with (R) following the
indication of lines which are repeated — is as follows: a-b-a-a(R)-a-b-a(R)-b(R). An
example of a triolet which is not quite regular follows.
ROSE FEVER
Go, lovely rose!
I think you'll drive me mad.

Kerchoo! the mischief grows-
Blow, lovely nose!
I've nothing now but woes,
And all the joys I had
Go. —Lovely rose,
I think you'll drive me mad.
The Rondel
The rondel contains fourteen lines and two rhymes. The first and second lines
form the refrain, and are repeated as the seventh and eighth, and thirteenth and
fourteenth. The rhyme scheme is a-b-b-a, a-b-a{R)-b(R), a-b-b-a-a(R)-b(R).
A rondel of thirteen lines omits one of the last two lines, and goes exactly as above
except for that omission.
A Brief Guide to English Versification xiii
The Rondelet
The rondelet, or little rondel, has seven lines, of which the first, third and seventh
are the refrain, in iambic dimeter, while the other four lines are in iambic trimeter or
tetrameter. The rhyme scheme is a-b-a(R)-a-b-b-a{R).
The Rondeau
The rondeau contains fifteen lines in iambic tetrameter or pentameter. The fourth
and the fifteenth lines are the refrain, and are composed of the first part of the first
line; this refrain does not rhyme. The rhyme scheme follows: a-a-b-b-a, a-a~b-R,
a-a-b-b-a-R.
IN AFTER DAYS
In after days when grasses high (a)
O'ertop the stone where I shall lie, (a)
Though ill or well the world adjust (b)
My slender claim to honored dust, (b)
I shall not question or reply. (a)
I shall not see the morning sky; (a)
I shall not hear the night-wind's sigh; (a)
I shall be mute, as all men must (b)
In after days! (R)
But yet, now living, fain were I (a)
That some one then should testify, (a)
Saying
—"He held his pen in trust (b)
To Art, not serving shame or lust." (b)
Will none? —Then let my memory die (a)
In after days! (R)
-Austin Dobson
The Villanelle
The villanellepoem in three-line stanzas in which the same two rhyme sounds
is a
are used throughout. The first and third lines of the first stanza serve as refrains,
returning in alternation as the last line of each following stanza. The last stanza is a
quatrain and ends with both refrain lines. The most usual length of the villanelle is
six stanzas, but it may be longer or shorter if the poet so desires. The rhyme scheme
is: a-b-a, a-b-a{\), a-b-a(3), etc., a-b-a(\)-a{3>).
The Ballade
The ballade is a lyric poem containing three stanzas and an Envoy, or fourth
stanza, usually half the length of the others.
ziv A Brief Guide to English Versification
There are two main forms of the ballade, that using an eight-line stanza and four-
line envoy, and that using a ten-line stanza and five-line envoy.
The last line of every stanza and of the envoy is a refrain.
The eight-line ballade, strictly speaking, should be written in iambic tetrameter,
while the ten-line form should be written in iambic pentameter. However, these
rules are not now observed so strictly as in the original French ballades of several
centuries ago.
The rhyme scheme of the eight-line stanza ballade is as follows: a-b-a-b-b-c-b-c{R)
for three stanzas, then b-c-b-c(R) for the envoy.

The ten-line stanza ballade goes: a-b-a-b-b-c-c-d-c-d(R) for three stanzas, then
c-c-d-c-d{R) for the envoy.
A seven-line stanza was used by Chaucer, as follows:
BALLADE OF GOOD COUNSEL
by Geoffrey Chaucer
Flee from the crowd and dwell with truthfulness, (a)
Suffice thee with thy goods, tho' they be small; (b)
To hoard brings hate, to climb brings giddiness, (a)
The crowd has envy, and success blinds all; (b)
Desire no more than to thy lot may fall, (b)
Work well thyself to counsel others clear, (c)
And Truth shall make thee free, there is no fear! (cR)
(modern version by Henry van Dyke)
The Limeric\
The limerick is a light-verse form containing five lines, the first, second and fifth
lines having three metric feet, and the third and fourth lines two metric feet. It is
rhymed a-a-b-b-a, and as written by many famed practitioners the last line is a
repetition or partial repetition of the first. It is usually written in mixed iambs and
anapests.
The subject of a limerick is frequently a person, but it may be anything in this
wide world, or out of it. A few examples follow.
There once was a man from Nantucket

Who kept all his cash in a bucket;
But his daugher, named Nan,
Ran away with a man,
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

Found quite a large mouse in his stew.

And wave it about,

VERSE, BLANK VERSE, AND FREE VERSE
The expressions that head this paragraph often seem to cause confusion, and yet
they are not really so difficult. Verse applies to any of the forms which have been
described thus far. In fact, it may apply to anything which is written with the line-
separations common to poetry. Blank verse is metrical verse which is unrhymed.
Free verse is verse which is separated into lines, but has not any definable meter. It
is usually cadenced, or rhythmical in a loose way. It is called "free" because it does
not have any identifiable rules.
KINDS OF POETRY
Poetry and verse, like heaven, have many mansions.
There are certainly as many kinds of poetry as there are of prose, and probably
more. Thus far, we have only considered the tools of writing verse, but before we
close, it will be a good idea to mention briefly some of the kinds of verse which have
been written in the past.
Poetry That Tells a Story
1. Epic poetry is storytelling on a vast and majestic scale. It tells not just the
story of one person, but of nations and wars and great cataclysms, in which the
supernatural often plays a part.
2. Narrative poetry, such as "Hiawatha" or "Evangeline," tells a long story, but
is on a smaller scale than an epic. It has been very popular in the past. In recent years
long narrative poems, novels in verse, have continued to appear, but have not found
great popular favor.
3. The Ballad. This is short, lyrical storytelling, as old as time, and just as uni-
versal. The earliest known ballads are folk ballads, whose authors are unknown, such
as "Sir Patrick Spens." "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," by Coleridge, the
"Ballad of Reading Gaol," by Oscar Wilde, the "Ballad of William Sycamore," by
Stephen Vincent Bene*t, are some examples of ballads that might be read again by the
student of verse- writing.
Poetry That Teaches a Lesson
This is so-called didactic or religious verse and may take the form of long philoso-
phizing. On the other hand, some beautiful lyrics may fall in this category.
xvi A Brief Guide to English Versification
Poetry That Describes Something
This is called descriptive poetry, and has as its primary aim the painting of a pic-
ture. It may be quite long, or it may be in lyric form, but it usually strives to be
objective.
Poetry to Be Acted Out
This is called dramatic poetry. It is found in Shakespeare's plays and in Browning's

dramatic monologues, to name but a few examples.
Poetry That Expresses Feelings
This is usually called lyric poetry and comprises the greatest variety imaginable.
There are many forms of lyric poetry — odes, or poems in praise of something or
somebody; elegies, or poems lamenting the loss of some thing or somebody; epigrams,
epitaphs, lullabies, or just plain lyrics, or songs.
Light or Humorous Verse
This kind of verse usually expresses feelings, too, but in such a light way that it
deserves a separate category. Its object is to amuse the reader.
Occasional Verse
This may be either light or serious, and is written to suit some special occasion.
It runs the gamut from Kipling's famous "Recessional" to greeting-card verse.
As usual when one talks about poetry, one has the cage without the bird. Yet one
must start somewhere, if one wishes to write poetry or verse, and where else but in a
discussion of technique can one learn how to go about it?
Aside from the special rules of writing verse, all the general precepts of good
writing in general apply to the writing of poetry. Freshness of expression and of
viewpoint are usually rewarded with success; clichds and worn-out, second-hand
ideas with failure.
Above all, Socrates' old advice to "know thyself' applies to poets. "Fool, said
my muse to me, look in thy heart and write!" remains as good advice as when Sir
Philip Sidney wrote it.

How to Use This Rhyming Dictionary
1. Look for rhymes under the vowel sound of the rhyme you want. For example,
if you want a rhyme for "hat," look under short A; for "table," look under long A.
2. The vowel sounds are given in alphabetical order. In case you are looking for a
vowel sound which puzzles you, consult the table of contents.
3. The page head at the top of each page will tell you which rhyme sound you have
before you. Within the vowel sound, there are always three sections: one-, two-, and
three-syllable rhymes. Within each section, the entries are arranged alphabetically,
except that the letter c is put with \ or s according to which of its two pronunciations
is used.
4. Note that within each entry the words are arranged in numbered groups, ac-
cording to the number of syllables. Thus, if you need a one-syllable word to finish
your line, you need look no further than the words following the numeral 1. If you
need three syllables, look at the words which come after the number 3. You might
also take a one- or two-syllable word for the rhyme and qualify it with an adjective,
thus making up your three syllables.
5. In a few cases where regional pronunciations vary, words have been included
which may not seem to be rhymes according to your pronunciation. This may be
true in a few words ending in r in particular, for this is a sound which often modifies
the pronunciation of the preceding vowel. If this is the case, do not use the word
which does not rhyme for you. Remember, it rhymes for some people, and that is
why it is there.
6. Cross references to entries containing additional rhymes are usually to another

entry in the same section. In this case, the indication "above" or "below" is given.
Otherwise, the reference is to another section and will be found by turning to the
appropriate vowel sound and one-, two-, or three-syllable rhyme section.

POEMS IN FIXED FORMS

I pace the sounding sea-beach and behold (a)

How the voluminous billows roll and run, (b)

Upheaving and subsiding, while the sun (b)

Shines through their sheeted emerald far unrolled (a)

And the ninth wave, slow gathering fold by fold (a)

All its loose-flowing garments into one, (b)

Plunges upon the shore, and floods the dun (b)

Pale reach of sands, and changes them to gold. (a)

So in majestic cadence rise and fall (c)

The mighty undulations of thy song, (d)

O sightless bard, England's maeonidesl (e)

And ever and anon, high over all (c)

Uplifted, a ninth wave superb and strong, (d)

Floods all the soul with its melodious seas. (e)

And doth with his eternal motion make (c)

A sound like thunder — everlastingly. (a)

Dear child ! dear girl ! that walkest with me here, (d)

If thou appear untouched by solemn thought (e)

Thy nature is not therefore less divine: (f)

And worship'st at the Temple's inner shrine, (/)
