plural monorhymes
- communicationsA poem or rhyme scheme whose lines all end with the same rhyme.
Until 1629 no other rhyme scheme approaches the importance of monorhyme; in 1655–1729 alternating rhyme numbers over half of the total output, and for two of the next three generations it drops down to about a third.
