As a poetry form, too - "Beowulf" and J. R. R. Tolkien's unfinished work
"The Fall of Arthur" come to mind. Sort of like "rhyming" the beginnings
of the words instead of the endings.
Most poetry until Chaucer foisted the French custom of end-rhymes on us.
See for example "Sir Gawaine and the Greene Knight" or "The vision of
Piers the Ploughman".
Shakespeare is almost all poetry, not prose. And it rarely rhymes. I
can't remember the correct term, but poetry is defined by repeating
rhythms, not by rhyming. Much like music, actually ... :-)
