So wing'd with Praise we penetrate the Sky,
Teach Clouds and Stars to praise him as we fly.Wall.
To the Diphthong; as,
So hungry Wolves, tho' greedy of their Prey,
Stop when they find a Lion in the way.Wall.
The other sort of single Rhyme is of the Words that have their Accent on the last Syllable save two. And these rhyme to the other in the same manner as the former; that is to say, if they end in any of the Vowels, except mute E, the Rhyme is made only to that Vowel; as,
So seems to speak the youthful Deity;
Voice, Colour, Hair, and all like Mercury.Wall.
But if they end in a Consonant or mute E, the Rhyme must begin at the Vowel that precedes that Consonant, and continue to the end of the Word. As has been shewn by the former Examples.
But we must take notice, that all the Words that are accented on the last save two, will rhyme, not only to one another, but also to all the Words whose Terminations have the same Sound, tho' they are accented on the last Syllable. Thus Tenderness rhymes not only to Poetess, Wretchedness, and the like, that are accented on the last save two, but also to Confess, Excess, &c. that are accented on the last; as,
Thou art my Father now, these Words confess,
That Same, and that indulgent Tenderness.Dryd.
