Detection of rhymes

Training set: "vertical collocations"

PRINCIPLE:

Find collocations among line-final words (by means of usual association measure).
No semantic reason for significant co-occurence, just rhyme.

EXAMPLE (en):

The antelopes who flocked for food have spoken
Of waning night, whose calm by that proud neigh was broken
(P. B. Shelley)

Wherefore -- and ere this awful curse he spoken
And give -- ere dancing cease and hearts be broken
(R. Kipling)

For being full, should I not then have spoken,
My sense oppressed had failed and heart had broken.
(S. Daniel)
