from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A grammatical rhyme is an impure rhyme of two words with the same root that have been inflected or formed differently . In minstrelsy often used are also found in modern times, yet examples:

Verses as Bassus writes ,
are imperishable remain : -
to Because like stuff write
always remain a bungler remains .
- Gotthold Ephraim Lessing : epistles

He sat on horseback: he did
not miss any gestures around him .
Ring to ring now spoke in silver ,
and there was voice in every thing ,
and as in many bells
the soul of every thing hung .
- Rainer Maria Rilke : Charles the Twelfth of Sweden rides in the Ukraine from The Book of Pictures

The corresponding rhetorical figure is the polyptoton .
