Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how rime appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Prends l’éloquence et tords-lui son cou ! Tu feras bien, en train d’énergie, De rendre un peu la rime assagie. Si l’on n’y veille, elle ira jusqu’où ? Ô qui dira les torts de la rime ! Quel enfant sourd ou quel nègre fou Nous a forgé ce bijou d’un sou Qui sonne creux et faux sous la lime ?
Il en est de même de la rime, qu’il n’est pas besoin de faire venir d’Arabie, puisqu’on la voit naître naturellement et par degrés de la poésie latine dégénérée.
