I like it, though in my idiolect it’s DES-per-ET, in yours DES-pret (also mine when, uh, I'm desperate for a rhyme!).
Serious question, by the way. After seeing a number of critiques of "the error," I went through a few copies of the recently lamented demise of Measure and found that about half of the rhymes were male/female. Not to mention in tons of other poems. It's my hobby in second childhood, so I'm not so extremist that rhymes must be perfect kisses.
