>author rhymes "move" with "love"

>> No.9503044

They used to rhyme in the 16th century

>I am retarded please rape my face

>> No.9503194

If intended, a species of off rhyme, i.e. a legit poetic device, or usage. Can be quite effective.

You fucking idiot, authors used to do that because they actually rhymed a long time ago. OP just read a Shakespeare sonnet for the first time in his life and is collecting (You)s.

>> No.9503211

>>9503206
so was move pronounced like love or was love pronounced like move?

>> No.9503222

>>9503211
They were both pronounced like cove and "By Jove!".

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

It's called a sight rhyme you fucking retard. Look it up.

Jesus fuck. In the age where poetry was regularly read out loud, this is what they did? No, the language just evolved. Google Shakespeare original pronunciation
I mean, this device sounds like the stupidest shit anyway. Did any respected poet use it at all?

I know that sometimes it's because of the pronunciation changed, but it's also done intentionally. Yeats used it.

I dunno m9, I find it kind of charming.

It's called an imperfect rhyme. Outside of Original Pronunciation, it's stilled used by alot of poets afterwards to increase the range of wordes they can use.

>> No.9503448

>>9503211
It was pronounced like modern-day "love"

thanks for the (you)s boys

No problem, though only >>9503236 is correct (I actually checked a collection of sonnets written with IPA by experts before I posted that, I have no idea where the other anons got their pronunciations).

Hey dumbfuck- that's why I prefaced my remark with 'if intended' -- Shakespeare often employs off rhymes, and Emily Dickinson is loaded up with them, etc.
