Stephen Sondheim, the composer and lyricist, was also well known for using pararhyme, particularly within a line, and not at the end. Examples include: Pinch/punch/paunch/pension from "The Miller's Son," say/so/soy/see and little/latte/later/lotta in "The Waiter's Song," woke/weak/walk in "Love, I Hear,"
and fits/fights in "Together Wherever We Go."
