RHYMING DICTIONARY

PREFACE 

THIS work is not written with any idea of teaching 
poets their business, but it is hoped that it may be the 
means of saving time to those who have already learnt 
it. Without making any pretension to absolute 
completeness, it is claimed that this is at the same 
time more complete, more compact, and more up-to- 
date than any other rhyming dictionary on the market. 

A great saving of space has been effected by the 
almost entire omission of false rhymes which en 
cumber so many works of a similar nature. In the few 
cases where these are given they are italicised. While 
all great poets have rightly preferred at times to 
sacrifice accuracy of sound rather than do injustice 
to some noble thought, it is submitted that every 
poet must be his own judge of the licence he can afford 
to take in this direction, and it is not for the compiler 
of a rhyming dictionary to suggest departures from 
correct rhyming, still less to justify such departures 
on the strength of quotations from Burns or other 
authorities who have used them. 

The words given are divided into two main classes. 

Under the heading " Sinole, or One-Syllable Rhymes," 
are given those words which rhyme on the last syllable 
only. These words are accented either on the last 
syllable or on the antepenultimate ; but a few words 
with weakly accented penultimates (e.g. " complex " 
to rhyme with " annex ") are given in italics as almost 
permissible single rhymes. 

Under the heading " Double, or Two-Syllable 
Rhymes," are given those words which rhyme on the 
last two syllables, with the accent on the penultimate. 
Combinations of two words to rhyme with these are 
for the most part omitted. They are easy to invent 
for oneself, but are not always considered legitimate. 

Triple or Three-Syllable Rhymes as such are not 
given, though a few of these have been included under 
the Double Ehymes (e.g. galleon, stallion) as being 
on the borderland. 

To find any required rhyme, turn up the heading 
which begins with the first vowel in the last syllable 
(or in the case of double rhymes, of the penultimate 
syllable) of the word to which a rhyme is sought. 
These Leadings are arranged in alphabetical order.
