The criticism of the rhymes sounds off to me. I don't particularly like perfect rhymes. Author suggests that these rhymes might have been "perfect" in Middle English; I have no idea. But I like rhymes that are a bit wonky, because they reflect ancient pronunciations or local dialects or whatever. Wonky rhymes feel more "real" to me.
