 Poetry
The alliterative patterns of early Germanic poetry and the rhyme schemes of Modern European poetry alike both include meter as a key part of their structure which determines when the listener expects instances rhyme or alliteration to occur.
Alliteration played a key role in structuring early Germanic and English forms of poetry (called Alliterative verse), akin to the role of rhyme in later European poetry.
Furthermore, Classical Greek and Latin poetry did not use rhyme.

 Literary Terms and Definitions R
RHYME ROYAL (Often spelled as "Rime Royal"): a stanzaic form invented by Chaucer in the fourteenth century and later used by Spencer and other Renaissance poets.
It is also common for poets to deliberately vary their rhyme scheme for artistic purposes--such as Philip Larkin's "Toads," in which the poetic speaker complains about his desire to stop working so hard, and his rhymes degenerate into half-rhymes as an indication that he doesn't want to go to the effort of perfection.
It is conventional in most poetic genres that every stanza follow the same rhyme scheme, though it is possible to have interlocking rhyme scheme such as terza rima.

 About the Sonnet
In classical Greek and Latin poetry, the second line of the elegiac distich, commonly but inaccurately referred to as a 'pentameter' is in fact composed of two half-lines of two and a half feet each, with dactyls or spondees in the first half and dactyls in the second.
Sonnet: a lyric poem comprising 14 rhyming lines of equal length: iambic pentameters in English, alexandrines in French, hendecasyllables in Italian.

Rhyme royal (1841) is a stanza of seven 10-syllable lines rhymed a-b-a-b-b-c-c.
Persistence of older form is due to popular association with O.E. rim "number," from PIE base *re(i)- "to reason, count." The verb is first attested 1672 (of words), "to have the same end sound;" 1697 (of poets), "to make rhymes." Phrase rhyme or reason "good sense" (chiefly used in the negative) is from 1664.

The most famous use of the stanza form in English poetry was made by Byron in Don Juan, who skillfully employs the stanza form for comic effect; in the following example the last line renders the slightly pompous lovesickness of the first seven lines quite ridiculous.
Later sonnet writers sometimes varied the number of lines between ten and sixteen lines, but still called the poem a sonnet (George Meredith for instance in his sonnet sequence Modern Love used sixteen lines, Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote sonnets that had ten-and-a-half lines).
In the following example from Pope’s Imitations of Horace especially the lines “To prove, that Luxury could never hold; / And place, on good security, his Gold” present a blatant contradiction between words and action in a completely harmonious (regular metre, noticeable rhyme) poetic form.

However, the use and utility of metrical and rhyming forms in storytelling throughout English literary history rather overwhelms Bly's assertions.
Masefield, in The Widow in the Bye Street, The Dauber and several other of what we would consider book-length narratives (3000 lines or more), used rhyme royal to tell stories about possessive widows, sailors, and a variety of characters.
This may not be why he chose rhyme royal stanzas, a difficult but not uncommon scheme in narratives going back 600 years to Troilus and Criseyde (Chaucer) in English literature, but it would be a good reason to do so.

 Poetry Basics: Rhyme
Some scholars claim that rhyme was "invented" to help make stories memorable in the days before the printing press allowed writers to publish their stories.
Rhyme scheme is the pattern established by the arrangement of rhymes in a stanza or poem, generally described by using letters of the alphabet to denote the recurrence of rhyming lines, such as the ababbcc of the Rhyme Royal stanza form.
In quatrains, the popular rhyme scheme of abab, as in Wordsworth's "She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways," is called alternate rhyme or cross rhyme.

 Rime dictionary
Rhyme dictionaries are called thus because they contained rhyme tables (or rime tables), which were tables listing characters by their phonological properties.
These books differed from mere rhyme tables, however, in that they also functioned as dictionaries, and gave other information about the character itself.
In this context, the spelling "rime" is often used instead of the more common "rhyme" in order to make a distinction between the "rime" in the sense of the rhyming portion of a syllable on one hand, and the concept of poetic rhyme on the other.
