The stage musical Hamilton is amazing in so many ways, but I stand in awe of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s use of rhyme among so many things. Rhyme is used throughout, but sometimes the rhyme is so clever that it just needs an ovation. Here are my favorite rhymes without context.
Shiny piece of coal > Unimpeachable
Abolitionists > Ammunition is
Tailor’s apprentice > In loco parentis
Hercules Mulligan > Ya mother said come again
Wittiest > City is > Insidious > Penniless > Any less
The convention is listless > Yo, who the f is this?
Devices > Indecisive > Crisis to crisis
Democracy > Socrates > Rocks at these > Mediocrities
Line of credit > Diuretic > You not get it
Horses > Of course > Intercourse > Four sets > Corsets
Relentlessly > Spendin’ Spree > Century > Parentheses > Mentions me > Sets us free > Ascendancy
