The Works of Garcilasso de la Vega, Surnamed the Prince of Castilian Poets, Translated into English Verse

Note O — Chapter IV · FROM THE ARGENSÓLAS AND OTHER POETS TO GONGÓRA.

Jeremiah Holmes Wiffen translation

The Asonante is a sort of imperfect rhyme peculiar to the Spaniards; it consists in the uniformity of the two last vowels, counting from the accent, as for example:

Tras una mariposa Qual zagalejo símple Corriendo por el valle La senda á perder víne.

Their perfect rhymes are termed Consonantes.
