Dearest creature<\/i> in creation<\/i>
\nStudying English pronunciation<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>I will teach you in my verse<\/i>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Sounds like corpse<\/i>, corps<\/i>, horse<\/i> and worse<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I will keep you, Susy<\/i>, busy<\/i>,
\nMake your head<\/i> with heat<\/i> grow dizzy;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Tear<\/i> in eye, your dress you’ll tear<\/i>;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Queer<\/i>, fair seer<\/i>, hear<\/i> my prayer<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Pray<\/i>, console your loving poet<\/i>,
\nMake my coat look new<\/i>, dear, sew<\/i> it<\/i>!
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Just compare heart<\/i>, hear<\/i> and heard<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Dies<\/i> and diet<\/i>, lord<\/i> and word<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Sword<\/i> and sward<\/i>, retain<\/i> and Britain<\/i>
\n(Mind the latter how it’s written<\/i>).
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Made<\/i> has not the sound of bade<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Say<\/i>–said<\/i>, pay<\/i>–paid<\/i>, laid<\/i> but plaid<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Now I surely will not plague you<\/i>
\nWith such words as vague<\/i> and ague<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>But be careful how you speak<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Say: gush, bush, steak, streak, break, bleak <\/i>,<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>This phonetic labyrinth
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Gives moss<\/i>, gross<\/i>, brook<\/i>, brooch<\/i>, ninth<\/i>, plinth<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Have you ever yet endeavoured<\/i>
\nTo pronounce revered<\/i> and severed<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Demon, lemon, ghoul, foul, soul,<\/i>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Peter, petrol <\/i>and patrol<\/i>?<\/p>\n

Billet<\/i> does not end like ballet<\/i>;
\nBouquet<\/i>, wallet<\/i>, mallet<\/i>, chalet<\/i>.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Blood<\/i> and flood<\/i> are not like food<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Nor is mould<\/i> like should<\/i> and would<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Banquet<\/i> is not nearly parquet<\/i>,
\nWhich exactly rhymes with khaki<\/i>.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Discount<\/i>, viscount<\/i>, load<\/i> and broad<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Toward<\/i>, to forward<\/i>, to reward<\/i>,<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Friend<\/i> and fiend<\/i>, alive<\/i> and live<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Is your r correct in higher<\/i>?

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Hugh<\/i>, but hug<\/i>, and hood<\/i>, but hoot<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Buoyant<\/i>, minute<\/i>, but minute<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Say abscission<\/i> with precision<\/i>,
\nNow: position<\/i> and transition<\/i>;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Would it tally with my rhyme<\/i>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>If I mentioned paradigm<\/i>?<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Rabies,<\/i> but lullabies<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Of such puzzling words as nauseous<\/i>,
\nRhyming well with cautious, tortious<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>You’ll envelop<\/i> lists, I hope,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>In a linen envelope<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Would you like some more? You’ll have it<\/i>!
\nAffidavit, David, davit<\/i>.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>To abjure<\/i>, to perjure<\/i>. Sheik<\/i>

Bass<\/i>, large<\/i>, target<\/i>, gin<\/i>, give<\/i>, verging<\/i>,
\nOught<\/i>, oust,<\/i> joust<\/i>, and scour<\/i>, but scourging<\/i>;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Ear<\/i>, but earn<\/i>; and ere<\/i> and tear<\/i>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Do not rhyme with here<\/i> but heir<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Mind the o of off<\/i> and often<\/i>
\nWhich may be pronounced as orphan<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>With the sound of saw<\/i> and sauce<\/i>;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Also soft, lost, cloth<\/i> and cross<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Pudding, puddle, putting<\/i>. Putting<\/i>?
\nYes: at golf it rhymes with shutting<\/i>.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Respite, spite, consent, resent.<\/i>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Liable<\/i>, but Parliament<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Seven<\/i> is right, but so is even<\/i>,
\nHyphen<\/i>, roughen<\/i>, nephew<\/i>, Stephen<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Monkey<\/i>, donkey<\/i>, clerk<\/i> and jerk<\/i>,

A<\/b><\/tt> of valour, vapid vapour,<\/i>
\nS<\/b><\/tt> of news<\/i> (compare newspaper<\/i>),
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>G<\/b><\/tt> of gibbet, gibbon, gist,<\/i>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>I<\/b><\/tt> of antichrist<\/i> and grist<\/i>,<\/p>\n

Differ like diverse<\/i> and divers<\/i>,
\nRivers, strivers, shivers, fivers<\/i>.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Once<\/i>, but nonce, toll, doll, <\/i>but roll<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Polish, Polish, poll <\/i>and poll<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Pronunciation-think of Psyche<\/i>!-
\nIs a paling, stout and spiky<\/i>.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Won’t it make you lose your wits<\/i>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Writing groats<\/i> and saying “grits”?<\/p>\n

It’s a dark abyss<\/i> or tunnel<\/i>
\nStrewn with stones like rowlock<\/i>, gunwale<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Islington<\/i>, and Isle<\/i> of Wight<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Housewife<\/i>, verdict<\/i> and indict<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Don’t you think so, reader, rather<\/i>,
\nSaying lather<\/i>, bather<\/i>, father<\/i>?
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Finally, which rhymes with enough<\/i>,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/tt>Though<\/i>, through<\/i>, bough<\/i>, cough<\/i>, hough<\/i>, sough, tough<\/i>??<\/p>\n

Hiccough<\/i> has the sound of sup<\/i>…
\nMy advice is: GIVE IT UP!<\/p>\n
