Ack. Yup. Thanks. But as for notating this, I've never heard of any system for notating rhymes that were not end rhymes. Has anyone?

And a later thought: I'm not persuaded that Orwn's method of notation works for the scheme in question. I look at it and think it must indicate a six-line stanza in which the ends of the first and second, fourth and fifth, and third and sixth lines are rhymed.
