What do you mean by this "feminine rhyme"?
The meter? The word choice? The diction? The time?

feminine rhyme occurs when the last syllable of the rhymed word is unstressed. in rhyming lines, every syllable from the last stress on should be rhymed, so when the rhyme is feminine you get multiple rhyming syllables. "cat/bat" and "sect/connect" are examples of masculine rhyme; "porridge/storage", "cauterize/otter eyes", and "fascinate/assassinate" are feminine.
