broken rhyme
is the splitting of a word at the end of a verse line, to allow a rhyme on a
syllable other than the final one, which is transferred to the following line.
It is a liberty taken for comic effect in light verse, and more rarely used in
serious works. Hopkins employed it frequently: the first line of The Windhover'
ends with the first syllable of 'king/dom' to rhyme with 'wing' in line four.
