Internal rhyme, too, is an aural rhyme, where similar sounding words or syllables occur within the same line multiple times, such as in the middle and towards the end of a line. Internal rhymes also occur across multiple lines internally, within a poem, with rhymes occurring multiple times in the middle or as well as towards the end of lines. Internal rhyme is also known as middle rhyme.
Example: In this song from William Shakespeare's play The Tempest:
Where the bee sucks, there suck I:
In a cowslip’s bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On the bat’s back I do fly
After summer merrily.
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
This song is an example of both internal as well as end rhyme.
