The romance (the term is Spanish, and is pronounced accordingly: Spanish pronunciation:) is a metrical form used in Spanish poetry. [1] It consists of an indefinite series ( tirada ) of verses, in which the even-numbered lines have a near-rhyme ( assonance ) and the odd lines are unrhymed.
The rhyme has existed in various forms since well before 1820 [1] and is common in many languages using similar-sounding nonsense syllables. Some versions use a racial slur, which has made the rhyme controversial at times. Since many similar counting-out rhymes existed earlier, it is difficult to know its exact origin.
The rhyme is of a type calling out otherwise respectable people for disrespectable actions, in this case, ogling naked ladies – the maids. The nonsense "rub-a-dub-dub" develops a phonetic association of social disapprobation, analogous to "tsk-tsk", albeit of a more lascivious variety.
Rhymes may be classified according to their position in the verse: Tail rhyme (also called end rhyme or rime couée) is a rhyme in the final syllable(s) of a verse (the most common kind). Internal rhyme occurs when a word or phrase in the interior of a line rhymes with a word or phrase at the end of a line, or within a different line.
