Identify the two words that eye rhyme in this excerpt from "The Brigs of Ayr" by Robert Burns. The simple Bard, rough at the rustic plough, Learning his tuneful trade from ev'ry bough; The chanting linnet, or the mellow thrush, Hailing the setting sun, sweet, in the green thorn bush; The soaring lark, the perching red-breast shrill, Or deep-ton'd plovers grey, wild-whistling o'er the hill Shall he-nurst in the peasant's lowly shed, To hardy independence bravely bred, By early poverty to hardship steel'd.
Are there any answer choices?
old question but will respond so this can be closed recall that an eye rhyme is made up of two words that *look like* they might rhyme based on their endings, but actually don't. ex: though and through so, try reading out loud all the rhyming couplets/triplet, and see which one doesn't actually rhyme based on pronunciation. refer to a pronunciation guide if you're stuck, especially for those older pronunciations.
