It matched "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"; I personally like rhyming 
Charm and Form more than Form and More, as I'd prefer matching the 
closing consonants, especially while many accents actually will rhyme 
'charm' and 'form' to a close approximation, very few dialects of 
english could possibly match 'form' with 'more'.
