Doubled rhyme refers to a rhyme pattern where rhyming sounds appear twice in succession or close proximity, creating emphasis through repetition and intensifying the sonic effect. This can occur within a single line, in consecutive lines, or in immediately adjacent positions within a larger rhyme scheme. The doubling of rhyme creates a sense of insistence, completeness, or rhythmic propulsion, and can serve various purposes from comic effect to emotional emphasis. Doubled rhyme differs from simple repetition by maintaining the rhyme relationship while varying the words, producing echoing rather than identical sounds.
