Mary Anthony in Medina (24 syllables: resile)
"Mary Anthony in Medina"

Mary howled words she soon begged to resile,
growled them again and now must kneel
to lose instead
her head.

10/8/4/2 which gives a quickening rhythm as rhymes c/c are closer than a/a or b/b. A play on names, history and perhaps a harsh reality for some women today. I guess the rhyme of resile/kneel can be considered a near rhyme if you pronounce resile to rhyme with aisle. As an American I haven't used this word before. It's an old word but not common.
