Rhyme was most often used in these songs because people could remember rhyming songs better than non-rhyming ones, so rhyming songs endured while non-rhyming ones were quickly forgotten.
Rhyme is a type of melody, and rhymes can be perfect with identical vowel sounds (âguyâ and âhighâ) or slant, when the sound of the final consonants is identical, but not the vowels (âshellâ and âpill,â âcementâ and âantâ).
