Meanings
-
(countable, uncountable) The rhyming of words (in modern English poetry) or of stressed syllables (in old Germanic poetry) within the same line of a verse.
We see a diverse and effective usage of internal rhyme in these ten lines. Pharoahe uses the typical internal rhyme, in which the rhymes are positioned in the middle and the end of the line (such as Lines 4, 8, and 9).
