GUEST,T-boy	Are rhymes necessary? (41)	RE: Are rhymes necessary?	19 Dec 02
Sorry, me again. French does have rhymes, try this one: Gal, amant de la reine, alla (tour magnanime) Gallament de l'arène à la Tour Magne à Nîmes. This is an (extreme) example of a 'rich' rhyme, i.e. with more than one syllable rhyming. In this case it's a whole twelve-syllable Alexandrine couplet with both lines sounding exactly the same. (I hope the line breaks come out all right, I'm a bit thick).
